<span>Let n = the number of nickles
Let q = the number of quarters
Then for your problem we have
(1) n + q = 43 and
(2) 5*n + 25*q = 100*6.95 (always work in cents to avoid decimal numbers) or
(3) 5*n + 25*q = 695
Now substitute n of (1) into (3) and get
(4) 5*(43 - q) + 25*q = 695 or
(5) 215 - 5*q + 25*q = 695 or
(6) 20*q = 695 - 215 or
(7) 20*q = 480 or
(8) q = 24
Then using (1) we get
(9) n + 24 = 43 or
(10) n = 19
Let's check these values.
Is (.05*19 + .25*24 = 6.95)?
Is (.95 + 6.00 = 6.95)?
Is (6.95 = 6.95)? Yes
Answer: Kevin and Randy have 19 nickles and 24 quarters in the jar.</span>
Answer: three n minus thirty-five equals seventy-nine
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- y= -12
- x = 7
- q = -1
- x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
1. ..............................................
- 6(y + 7) = 2(y - 3)
- 6y + 42 = 2y - 6
- 6y - 2y = -6 - 42
- 4y = -48
- y = -12
2...............................................
- 3x + 2(x - 5) = 25
- 3x + 2x - 10 = 25
- 5x = 25 + 10
- 5x = 35
- x = 7
3 . ..............................................
- 10q + 3q + 5 = 2(q - 3)
- 13q + 5 = 2q - 6
- 13q - 2q = -6 - 5
- 11q = -11
- q = -1
4. ..............................................
- 1/3(x + 6) = 2/3(x - 9)
- 3*1/3(x+6) = 3*2/3(x - 9)
- x + 6 = 2(x - 9)
- x + 6 = 2x - 18
- 2x - x = 6 + 18
- x = 24
Answer: Not possible
Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the probability of getting heads is 1/2 and the probability of the number cube getting three is 1/6, we multiply.
For every coin flip, there is a 1/6 chance of getting a three. But since there is another condition, we have to multiply. Multiplying both fractions make 1/12.
