Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
For quarters we have:
Where,
x: number of quarters
Clearing x we have:
For nickels we have:
Where,
y: number of nickels
Clearing y we have:
Then, the ratio of quarters to nickels is:
Simplifying we have:
Answer:
The ratio of quarters to nickels in a dollar is:
Yes
Plug in points
Mark brainliest please
Angle y is vertical to 43° ....so it has the same measure
Angles x and z are vertical to each other....so their measures are equal.....and they are supplemental to 43° = 137°
