You need each of the square roots to be positive numbers, and the only for that to happen is if the variable is 0 or a positive number.
Answer:
.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Purchase Cost = Cost per Portion x Portion Per Purchase
16 oz=1lb
4x + 9 - (10/(3x)) I favored the x^2 then expanded and simplified each rational term
First, we'll set up two equations. One for the amount of each coin and another for the value of the coins.
N will represent nickels
D will represent dimes
N + D = 30
---The problem tells us that there are 30 total coins
0.05N + 0.10D = 2.95
---Nickels are worth 5 cents and dimes are worth 10 cents, and the total value of the coins is 2.95
Now that we have our equations, we need to solve for one of the variables in the first equation. I will solve for N.
N + D = 30
N = 30 - D
Then, we take that equation and substitute our new value for N into the second equation (value) and solve for D.
0.05(30 - D) + 0.10D = 2.95
1.5 - 0.05D + 0.10D = 2.95
1.5 + 0.05D = 2.95
0.05D = 1.45
D = 29
Now that we know how many dimes there are, we can plug that value into our equation for N and solve for N.
N = 30 - D
N = 30 - 29
N = 1
Therefore, there are 29 dimes and 1 nickel.
Hope this helps!
