Paul has 12 coins in his pocket, consisting entirely of dimes and quarters. If he has a total of 195 cents in coins, how many co

anyanavicka [17]

Let x be the number of dimes

and y be the number of quarters

Total number of coins = 12

So number of dimes + number of quarters = total number of coins

x + y = 12 ---------> equation 1

We know, 1 Quarter = 25 cents, 1 Dime = 10 cents, total cents = 196

y quarters = 25y cents , x dimes = 10x cents

x dimes + y quarters = 195 cents

10x + 25y = 195 -----------> equation 2

Now solve both equations

x + y =12, we solve for y by subtracting x on both sides

y = 12-x

Now substitute y in second equation

10x + 25(12-x) = 195

10x + 300 -25x = 195 (combine like terms)

-15x + 300 = 195 (subtract 300 on both sides)

-15x = -105 ( divide by -15)

x=7

y= 12-x

y=12-7 = 5

The number of dimes = 7

Number of quarters = 5

The model represents an equation. What value of x makes the equation true?

ch4aika [34]

Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.

On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of $5x+8$

On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of $3x+10$

So, the equation we want to solve is

$5x+8 = 3x+10$

Subtract 3x from both sides:

$2x+8 = 10$

Subtract 8 from both sides:

$2x=2$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x=1$
