Answer:

300 dimes and 120 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dimes and y be the number of quarters Travis has. Travis has $60 (6000 cents) in dimes and quarters, then

10x+25y=6000.

If he could switch the numbers of dimes with the number of quarter, he would have y dimes and x quarters. In total this amount of money is $87 (8700 cents), then

10y+25x=8700.

Solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}10x+25y=6000\\ \\10y+25x=8700\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+5y=1200\\ \\2y+5x=1740\end{array}\right..

Multiply the 1st equation by 5, the 2nd equation by 2 and subtract them:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}10x+25y=6000\\ \\10x+4y=3480\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow 21y=2520,\ y=120.

Then

2x+5\cdot 120=1200,\\ \\2x=1200-600,\\ \\2x=600,\\ \\x=300.

The following equation is being multiplied by the LCD. Complete the multiplication to eliminate the denominators
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(x+2)(x-2) -1(3x)=(x-3)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2/3x - 1/x-2 = x-3/3x

\frac{x+2}{3x}-\frac{1}{x-2}=\frac{x-3}{3x}

LCD is (3x)(x-2). so we multiply the whole equation by LCD

(3x)(x-2)(\frac{x+2}{3x}-\frac{1}{x-2}=\frac{x-3}{3x})

We multiply each term by LCD

(3x)(x-2)(\frac{x+2}{3x})-(3x)(x-2)(\frac{1}{x-2})=(3x)(x-2)(\frac{x-3}{3x})

(x+2)(x-2) -1(3x)=(x-3)(x-2)
