Using a system of equations, it is found that there are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are given as follows:
- Variable x: number of dimes in his pocket.
- Variable y: number of quarters in his pocket.
He has a total of 14 coins, hence:
x + y = 14 -> y = 14 - x.
They are worth $2.75, hence, considering the value of each coin(dimes $0.1 and quarters $0.25), we have that:
0.1x + 0.25y = 2.75
Since y = 14 - x:
0.1x + 0.25(14 - x) = 2.75
x = (0.25*14 - 2.75)/0.15.
x = 5.
y = 14 - x = 14 - 5 = 9.
There are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following two functions and we are to find the value of
:


Firstly, we need to find the function :

Now substituting the value
in it:

g (h (x) ) = 5/8
Answer: 1 is 1,3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x +
+ (x - 1) = 
Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 2 and 5 ) to clear the fractions
10x + 15 + 10(x - 1) = 8
10x + 15 + 10x - 10 = 8
20x + 5 = 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
20x = 3 ( divide both sides by 20 )
x =
