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.
2f+6+4f=6+6f
6f+6-6=6-6+6f
6f=6f
This means f can equal any number which we call mathematically infinite solution or infinitely many solutions
Check the picture below. You can pretty much just count the units off the grid.
Answer:
214 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the difference between miles already traveled and total miles you need to travel, you subtract ...
345 miles - 131 miles = 214 miles
You must travel 214 more miles to complete your 345 mile journey.
Answer:
look at my Step-by-step explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment
open the compass more than half of the distance between A and B, and scribe arcs of the same radius centered at A and B.
Call the two points where these two arcs meet C and D. Draw the line between C and D.
CD is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. Call the point where CD intersects AB E.
