Answer:
There are 23 dimes in the box
Step-by-step explanation:
Let nickels=n
Let dimes=(35-n)
Equation: 0.05n+0.10(35-n)=2.90
Multiply both sides by 100: 5n+10(35-n)=290
-5n+350=290
-5n=-60
n=12
35-12=23
Therefore, there are 23 dimes in the box
Answer:
(x, y) = (-4, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the values of x and y by working the problem using any of the methods of solving simultaneous equations that you have been taught.
Here, you observe that the y-coefficients are the same in each equation. That means you can cancel the y-terms by subtracting one equation from the other.
(7x +6y) -(4x +6y) = (-4) -(8)
3x = -12 . . . . simplify
x = -4 . . . . . . divide by 3
Now, you can substitute this into either equation to find y.
4(-4) +6y = 8
6y = 24 . . . . . . . . add 16
y = 4 . . . . . . . . divide by 6
The solution to this system of equation is ...
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
-2/5 - (-9/15) = -2/5 + 9/15.
both of those equations are equivalent.
hope this helps.
