So, you have to have your equation in terms of dimes. What you said about what he has: four more nickels than dimes in his pocket. Will help with our equation.
We know what a nickel and dime is worth. A nickel is .05 and a dime is .1
We don't know how many dimes are in his pocket, since we're trying to solve it.
.1x+(4+x).05=1.25; 
In the parenthesis, it shows how there are four more nickels. Let's solve it now.
.1x + (4+x).05=1.25
.1x + .2+ .05x = 1.25; Let's add like terms.
.15x + .2 = 1.25; Subtract .2 from both sides.
.15x= 1.05
1.05÷.15= 7 =x
There are 7 dimes in his pocket, let's check our answer.
We now know there are 11 nickels, since there are four more nickels than dimes.
11(.05) +.1(7) = 1.25
.55+ .7 = 1.25
Now that we've tried it, we know there are 7 dimes in his pocket.

dolores and four friends went to a buffet dinner.The total cost was at most $130 including the $20 dollar tip they left.How much
Levart [38]
So the actual meal was at most 130 dollars they paid minus the 20 dolars tip: 130-20=110 dollars.

it was 5 people: Dolores+5 friends, who presumably all paid the same (buffet).

then we have to divide the 110 among the 5 people: it's 110/5=22

so each of them paid at most 22 dollars:

x (the amount they paid)≤22

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

= 10x² + 9x³

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you mean question 19

3x² + 5x³ + 7x² + 4x³    (rearrange to group like terms)

=3x² + 7x² + 5x³ + 4x³  (factor out common powers)

= (3+7)x² + (5+4)x³

= 10x² + 9x³
