Answer:

16 Nickles and 14 Dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know

n + d = 30
.05n + .1d = 2.2 (total change equals $2.20)

(.05n + 0.1d = 2.2) -10
-.5n - d = -22
.5n = 8
n = 16

Let a represent the number of ounces of perfume A. Let b represent the number of ounces of perfume B. Perfume A costs $11 per ou

Julli [10]

Answer:

The system of equations in standard form is equal to

$11a+19b=71$

$a+b=5$

The number of ounces of perfume A is $3\ ounces$

The number of ounces of perfume B is $2\ ounces$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

a-----> the number of ounces of perfume A

b----> the number of ounces of perfume B

we know that

$11a+19b=71$ -----> equation A

$a+b=5$

$a=5-b$ -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for b

$11(5-b)+19b=71$

$55-11b+19b=71$

$8b=71-55$

$8b=16$

$b=2\ ounces$

Find the value of a

$a=5-b$ -----> $a=5-2=3\ ounces$

Find x in This equation.<br> 2x+2=-4(x-5)

san4es73 [151]

Hey there!

2x + 2 = -4(x - 5)

2x + 2 = -4(x) - 4(-5)

2x + 2 = -4x + 20

ADD 4x to BOTH SIDES

2x + 2 + 4x = -4x + 20 + 4x

SIMPLIFY IT!

6x + 2 = 20

SUBTRACT 18 to BOTH SIDES

6x + 2 - 2 = 20 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0

KEEP: 20 - 2 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: 6x = 20 - 2

SIMPLIFY IT!

6x = 18

DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES

6x/6 = 18/6

CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1

KEE: 18/6 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 18/6

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 3

Therefore, your answer is: x = 3

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

The equation $x + {y = 2 can be rewritten in a form that reveals the y-intercept of the graph of the equatior

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

$y = \frac{2}{z} - \frac{x}{z}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x + zy = 2$

Required

Rewrite to show y-intercept

We have: $x + zy = 2$

Subtract x from both sides

$zy = 2-x$

Divide both sides by z

$y = \frac{2}{z} - \frac{x}{z}$

<em>The y intercet is: </em> $\frac{2}{z}$ <em></em>
