Answer:
D. $1.95
F. $3
Step-by-step explanation:
dimes: x + 2
quarters: x
x + 2 + x = 12
2x + 2 = 12
2x = 10
x = 5
dimes: x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7
quarters: x = 5
Total value: (7 * .10) + (5 * .25) = $1.95
_____
dimes: x
quarters: 2x
x + 2x = 15
3x = 15
x = 5
dimes: x = 5
quarters: 2x = 2(5) = 10
Total value: (5 * .10) + (10 * .25) = $3
<u>The concept:</u>
We are given the equation:
Which can be simplified as:
Since any number to the power '0' is 1
x² - x must be equal to 0 for the given equation to be true
<u></u>
<u>Solving for x:</u>
x² - x = 0
x(x-1) = 0
now, we can divide both sides by either x OR x-1
So we will see what we get for either choice:
x = 0/(x-1) x-1 = 0/x
x = 0 x = 1
Hence, the value of x is either 0 or 1
Answer:
D $11.63
Step-by-step explanation:
Commission = 6% of sales
" 6% " means 0.06
" of " means "times"
Commission = (0.06) x (sales)
$300 = (0.06) x (sales)
Divide each side by 0.06 : $300 / 0.06 = sales
<em> $5,000 = sales </em>
1st option
-2 is -1 + -1
