-5(2x+1)-2x-2=17
first, distribute
-10x-5-2x-2=17
combine like terms
-12x-7=17
get the x alone, eliminate the constant
-12x=24
divide out the -12 to get the x alone.
x=-2

A man has 14 coins in his pocket, all of which are dimes and quarters. if the total value of his change is $1.70, how many dimes
DaniilM [7]
D + q = 14....d = 14 - q
0.10d + 0.25q = 1.70

0.10(14 - q) + 0.25q = 1.70
1.40 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 1.70
-0.10q + 0.25q = 1.70 - 1.40
0.15q = 0.30
q = 0.30 / 0.15
q = 2 <=== 2 quarters

d + q = 14
d + 2 = 14
d = 14 - 2
d = 12 <=== 12 dimes

Find the value of x and y in the following figure where ABCD is a parallelogram<br><br>​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other into two equal segments. Therefore:

3x - 1 = 2(x + 1)

Solve for x

3x - 1 = 2x + 2

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 1 + 2

x = 3

Also:

5y + 1 = 6y - 1

Collect like terms

5y - 6y = -1 - 1

-y = -2

Divide both sides by -1

y = -2/-1

y = 2
