Kitara has 100 quarters and dimes. Their total value is $19. How many of each coin does Kitara have?

1 answer:

4 0

Q + d = 100 so q = 100 - d
0.25q + 0.10d = 19

substitute q = 100 - d into 0.25q + 0.10d = 19

0.25q + 0.10d = 19
0.25(100 - d) + 0.10d = 19
25 - 0.25d + 0.10d = 19
-0.15d = -6
d = 40

q = 100 - 40 = 60

answer
Kitara has 60 quarters and 40 dimes

2(4k+8)=10
8k+16=10 (she said 2k instead of 8k)

To continue solving, subtract 16 from both sides. That would give you 8k= -6. Then divide both sides by 8, and get -6/8 which equals -3/4.

What is the solution to the equation 9(w – 4) – 7w = 5(3w – 2)?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

W= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply the expression: 9(w – 4) – 7w = 5(3w – 2)

First step: 9w -36-7w = 15w-10

Second step: 2w-36=15w-10

Third step:-36+10=15w-2w
