I’m guessing that this is for systems of equations?
n - nickels
d - dimes
These are the equations you start off with.
n = 5d-2
0.95 = 0.10d+0.05n
Substitute the top equation for n into the variable n in the bottom equation.
0.95 = 0.10d+0.05(5d-2)
Solve for d.
0.95 = 0.10d+0.25d-0.10
1.05 = 0.35d
3 = d
Substitute d into the top equation and solve for n.
n = 5(3)-2
n = 15-3
n = 12
There are 3 dimes and 12 nickels in the coin purse! Hope this helped <3
Answer:
3x-6=9 is your equation x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add 6 to both sides
Step 2: Divide both sides by 3
Answer:
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Step 1. (The capture) Capture a sample total counted =958, and them back tagged counted=38,total tagged=56
</em>
<em>The idea is to estimate the proportion p = m/N of tagged =102.
</em>
<em>Step 2. (The recapture) After everything has settled down, capture a new sample of n fish. Count the number of tagged fish. Suppose that k of them are tagged.
</em>
<em>It is reasonable that, k/n would be a good estimante for p = m/N.
</em>
<em>Accordingly, for an estimate N of N, se solve the equation m/N= k/n.
