Let Q= the number of quarters and D= the number of dimes.
Q+D= 40 coins
0.25Q+0.1D= $7.75
Rewrite equation 1 as: D = 40-Q and substitute into equation 2
0.25Q+0.1(40-Q)= 7.75 Simplify the left side
0.25Q+4-0.1Q= 7.75 Subtract 4 from both sides
0.25Q-0.1Q= 3.75 Convime like terms on left side
0.15Q= 7.75 Divide both sides by 0.15
Q=25 and D= 40-Q
D= 40-25 which is 15
So Jenna had 25 quarters and 15 dimes.
<span>To check multiply 25 x 25 and 15x10 which equals 625 and 150 this equals 775 so this is 7.75</span>

1) Cancel out the common factor which in this case is 8 \frac{16m^2}{24m^7} = \frac{2m^2}{3m^7}

2)First apply exponent rule \frac{n(n+7)}{4n(n+7)}\\ now cancel out the common factors which are n and n+7 leaving you with \frac{1}{4}=0.25

3)Factorize \frac{(x+2)(x-12)}{x+2}cancel out the common factor in this case x+2 leaving you with x-12

4) Factorize \frac{(-3w+1)(3w-1)}{4(3w-1)} cancel out the common factor in this case 3w-1 leaving you with \frac{-3w+1}{4}
