Set up
Let the dimes = d
Let the pennies = p
Let the quarters = q
Equations
You cannot mean that the pennies and dimes have equal numbers. That would mean that each had 21.5 members. Now could you mean that the dime and penny amount could be the same with 43 coins that total 4.00. Four dollars means that you need 40 dimes alone. It must mean that you are including quarters.
p + d + p = 43 (1)
p = d (2)
p +10d +25q = 451 (3)
Note how this last equation = was derived. You have to multiply the dimes by 10 and he quarters by 100 and the total by 100 to get the numbers all in pennies.
Put the results of 2 into 1.
2p + q = 43 (4)
You need to modify equation 3 as well.
p + 10p + 25q = 451
11p + 25q = 451 (5)
Solve the new equations
2p + q = 43 (4)
11p + 25q = 451 (5)
Multiply 4 by 25
25(2p- + q = 43)
50p + 25q = 1075 (6) Subtract (5) from (6)
<u>11p + 25q = 451
</u>39p = 624 Divide by 39
p = 624 / 39
p = 16
Since the pennies and dimes are equal there are 16 dimes
p + d + q = 43
16 + 16 + q = 43
32 + q = 43
q = 11
Check
16 + 10*16 + 11*25 = ?
16 + 160 + 275 = ?
451 = ?
Nice problem. Thanks for posting.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:
120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16
Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...
120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)
0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms
n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller
(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic
The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.
The woman bought 6 items.
_____
Check
When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.

Answer:
Equation: 15 - f = n
Answer: n = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to write the equation. The equation would be
"15 - f = n" where f shirts folded
n = shirts remaining to fold
Then the question has gave us the value of f and has told us to solve it. Below is the solution.
15 - 6 = n
=> n = 9
Therefore, there is 9 shirts remaining after 6 of them are folded.
What did we solve?
We wrote our equation and solved what was required in the question.
I hoped this helped.
If possible... May I have brainliest :)
In a - 3 = 15, the value of a HAS to be 18.
In a - 3 is greater than or equal to 15, the value of a is any value that is 18 or higher.
