We can treat this problem like you regularly subtract fractions. First find the common denominator, which is 15.
So:
5(x+6)/15 = 30/15 + 3(x-2)/15
(5x+6)/15 - (30/15) - (3x - 6)/15
As you already know the answer, I'm assuming you can do the rest.
Hope this helps!
Answer: Where is the picture?
Step-by-step explanation:
0.05n + 0.1d = 3.10
n + d = 44
d = 44 - n
Substituting to the first equation:
0.05n + 0.1(44 - n) = 3.10
0.05n + 4.4 - 0.1n = 3.10
-0.05n = 3.10 - 4.4
n = 26
Obtaining the value of nickels:
26 * 0.05 = 1.3
Therefore, the value of nickels that Bethany has is $1.30
