$2x^2-2x-12=0\\
2(x^2-x-6)=0\\
2(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0\\
2(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0\\
2(x+2)(x-3)=0\\
x=-2 \vee x=3$

James has a total of 66 dollars in his piggy bank. He only has one dollar bills and two dollar bills in his piggy bank. If there

gavmur [86]

Answer:

32 one-dollar bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one-dollar bills and y represent two-dollar bills.

He has a total of 49 bills. Therefore:

$x+y=49$

The total amount of money James has is 66. x is worth one dollar, while y is worth two dollars. Therefore:

$1x+2y=66\\x+2y=66$

We have a system of equations. Solve by substitution:

$x+2y=66\\x+y=49\\x=49-y\\(49-y)+2y=66\\y=17\\x=49-17=32$

Therefore, James has 32 one-dollar bills and 17 two-dollar bills.

Checking:

$32(1)+17(2)\stackrel{?}{=}66\\32(1)+17(2)\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}66\\\\32+17\stackrel{?}{=}49\\49\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}49$
