For this case, the first thing to do is define variables.

We have then:

  • <em>x: number of nickels </em>
  • <em>y: number of dimes </em>
  • <em>z: number of quarters </em>

We write now the system of equations:

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 4.10\\y = 2z\\x = y + 5

Then rewriting the equations we have:

0.05 (2z + 5) + 0.1 (2z) + 0.25z = 4.1\\0.05 (2z + 5) + 0.1 (2z) + 0.25z = 4.1\\0.1z + 0.25 + 0.2z + 0.25z = 4.1\\0.55z = 4.1-0.25

z = \frac {3.85} {0.55}\\z = 7

Then, substituting values we have:

y = 2 (7)\\y = 14

Finally:

x = 14 + 5\\x = 19

Answer:

19 nickels

14 dimes

7 quarters

If EG = 59, and EF = 8x - 14, while FG = 4x + 1
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

EG = 59

EF = 8x - 14

FG = 4x + 1

to find the value of x

EF + FG = EG (same line)

8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59

12x -13 = 59

12x = 59 + 13

12x = 72

x = 72 ÷ 12

x = 6

You can even cross check for correct answer

EF + FG = EG

instead of x place the x's value we got

8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59

8 (6) - 14 + 4 (6) + 1 = 59

48 - 14 + 24 + 1 = 59

34 + 25 = 59

59 = 59

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point ( 6 , − 1 ) (6,−1) and is parallel to the line x − 3 y = 3 x−3y=3?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Passes through (6,-1)(6,-1)

Find the slope (m)

m=(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m=(-1 - (-1) ) / (6-6)

m= 0

Parallel to x - 3y = 3

-3y = -x +3

y = 1/3 x -1

Equation of the line equation is y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - ( -1 ) = 0 ( x - 6 )

y + 1 = 0

y = 1
