Answer:Answer: Isabella buys 2 paintbrushes and 3 jars of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella can buy together 5 paintbrushes ( p ) and jars of paint ( p ) : j + p = 5, She can`t buy 4 items ( because 4 * $0.99 = $3.96 < $4.87 ) and she also can`t buy 6 items ( 6 * $0.95 = $5.70 > $4.87 ). So: p = 5 - j. Another equation is: 0.95 * ( 5 - j ) + 0.99 j = 4.87, 4.75 - 0.95 j + 0.99 j = 4.87; 0.04 j = 0.12; j = 0.12 : 0.04; j = 3, p = 5 - 3 = 2. We can prove it: 0.95 * 2 + 0.99 * 3 = 1.90 + 2.97 = 4.87.

(Hope this helps!!!!)

Martin has a combination of 33 quarters and dimes worth a total of $6. Which system of linear equations can be used to find the
Komok [63]

Answer:

D) q + d = 330

0.25q + 0.1d = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q= numbers of quarters

d = number of dimes

q + d = 33 ...........(1)

q = 33 - d

xq + yd = 6 ..........(2)

We will consider the options to know the correct answer

From option A

q +d = 6

25q + 10d = 33

This is wrong

Option B

q + d = 60

0.25q + 0.1d = 33

This is also wrong

Option C

q+d = 33

25q + 10d = 6

Put q = 33 -d in equation 2

25(33 - d) + 10q = 6

825 - 25d + 10d = 6

825 - 15d = 6

-15d = 6-825

-15d = -819

d = -819/-15

d= 54.6

This is also wrong because d exceeds the combination.

Option D

q+d = 33

0.25q + 0.1d = 6

Put q = 33 -d in equation 2

0.25(33 - d) + 0.1d = 6

8.25 - 0.25d + 0.1d = 6

8.25 - 0.15d = 6

-0.15d = 6 - 8.25

-0.15d = -2.25

d = -2.25/ -0.15

d = 15

q = 33 - 15

q = 18

This is correct

elena55 [62]
<span>Find the two numbers that has the sum of 5.036
First number has a 4 in the tenths place and 7 in the thousands
=> x.4x7
The other number has 1 in the ones place and 2 in the hundredths place
=> 1.x2x
=> x.4x7 + 1.x2x = 5.036
=> x.4x7 + 1.x2x = notice that the thousandths place is 7, add 9 to make it 16.
=> x.4x7 + 1.x26 = carry 1, then in hundredths place 2 + 1 + x, find the number to make it 3, since it’s already 3 x = 0
=> x.407 + 1.x29, in tenths place, notice that we already have 4, add 6 to make it 10, then carry 1 to ones place
=> x.407 + 1.629, Now, in ones place, we have 1 + 1 + x, find a number to make it 5. Add 3
=> 3.407 + 1.629 = 5.036</span>
