The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
In total, Antony sold 10 muffins. We can do a ratio like this:
Because there are 4 blackberry muffins. We solve.
Because 10 is directly half of 20, we can just multiply 4 by 2 because if you multiply 10 by 2, you'd get 20. 4 times 2 is 8. That's the answer.
Answer:
x = 0.5
y = -1/4 or -0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6y = 2
3x + 2y = 10
Multiply a number by any of the equations to get numbers of the same variable
3x + 18y = 6
3x + 2y = 10
3x - 3x = 0
NB: subtract evenly if u subtract down from top make sure u subtract down from top throughout
16y = -4
16y/16 = -4/16
y = -1/4 or -0.25
to find the x value, any where you see y u put in the y value(-0.25)
So u'll pick just one of the equations above
x + 6(0.25) = 2
x + 1.5 = 2
x = 1.5 + 2
x = 0.5
Yeah there all right but I have a little hinch for the last and first one
The initial payment per month being 30 and each movie being 2.50 means that if the total payment is 45 then you pay for 6 movies per month, 30x+6(2.5x)
