The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
Answer:
600
Step-by-step explanation:
x+2x=1800
3x=1800
x=600
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
according to tangent property
we get
Given that
Thus our equation is

substitute the given values

simplify multiplication:

simplify addition:

cancel 20 from both sides:

divide both sides by 2:

AN=CN
hence,CN=7
therefore our answer is A
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles in a triangle add up to equal 180 degrees
Hence, 10x - 11 + 3x - 2 + 3x + 1 = 180
( note that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for x )
we now solve for x using the equation we created
10x - 11 + 3x - 2 + 3x + 1 = 180
step 1 combine like terms
10 + 3x + 3x = 16x
- 11 - 2 + 1 = -12
we now have 180 = 16x - 12
step 2 add 12 to each side
- 12 + 12 cancels out
180 + 12 = 192
we now have 192 = 16x
step 3 divide each side by 16
16x / 16 = x
192 / 16 = 12
we're left with x = 12
