2x + y = 4
2x - y = 8
-------------add
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3

2x + y = 4
2(3) + y = 4
6 + y = 4
y = 4 - 6
y = -2

okay....so x = 3 and y = -2

3x - y = ?
3(3) - (-2) = ?
9 + 2 = 11....so ur answer is 11

Chiara has 26 coins that equal 34 cents. All the coins are pennies, p, and nickels, n. How many nickels and pennies does Chiara
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Chiara has 2 penny coins and 24 nickel coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p ----> the number of penny coins

n ---> the number of nickel coins

Remember that

1\ penny=\$0.01

1\ nickel=\$0.05

Chiara has 26 coins that equal 34 cents

so

p+n=26

isolate the variable x

p=26-n ----> equation A

34 cents=$0.34

0.01p+0.05n=0.34

Multiply by 100 both sides

p+5n=34

isolate the variable x

p=34-5n -----> equation B

Create a table  to guess

assume  different values of n and determine the value of p in equation A and equation B

The solution is when the value of p in the equation A must be equal to the value of p in equation B

1) For n=1

equation A

p=26-1=25

equation B

p=34-5(1)=29

29\neq 25

2) For n=2

equation A

p=26-2=24

equation B

p=34-5(2)=24\\24=24

therefore

The solution is (2,24)

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

If 75% of the students like skating, that means 35% of the students don't like skating.

35% of the students corresponds to 35 students that do not like skating.

Then to find the number of students who like skating we use the following logical computation,

35% represents 35 people then how much does 75% represent

⇒\frac{35}{35%} *75%

=75

Therefore,

The number of students who like skating was 75.
