Answer:

  • 7 $5 bills
  • 10 $1 bills

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take out the extra $3, we can group the bills into one each of $5 and $1, for a value of $6. There will be 7 such groups in the remaining $42.

That means there are 7 bills of the $5 denomination, and 3 more than that (10 bills) of the $1 denomination.

There are 7 $5 bills and 10 $1 bills.

_____

If you want to write an equation, it is usually best to let a variable stand for the most-valuable contributor. Here, we can let x represent then number of $5 bills. Then the value of the cash box is ...

  5x +(x+3) = 45

  6x = 42 . . . . . . . . subtract 3, collect terms

  x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . there are 7 $5 bills

  x+3 = 10 . . . . . . . . there are 10 $1 bills

You may notice that this working parallels the verbal description above. (After we subtract $3, x is the number of $6 groups.)

Which shows one way to determine the factors of x3 11x2 – 3x – 33 by grouping? x2(x 11) 3(x – 11) x2(x – 11) – 3(x – 11) x2(x 11
Aloiza [94]

The one way to determine factors of x³  + 11x² – 3x – 33  will be x^2(x+11)-3(x+11)_.

<h3>What is a factorization?</h3>

It is the method to separate the polynomial into parts and the parts will be in multiplication. And the value of the polynomial at this point will be zero.

The steps involved in the factorization are;

1. For each pair of parentheses, we create a common factor.

2. We use x2 as a common factor for the first parenthesis.

3. We use common factor 3 for the second parenthesis.

x^3  + 11x^2 - 3x -33 \\\\ x^2(x+11)-3(x+11)_

We will find the final solution as x^2(x+11)-3(x+11)_.

Hence the one way to determine factors of x³  + 11x² – 3x – 33  will be x^2(x+11)-3(x+11)_.

Korvikt [17]

3x+y=5 & 5x-4y=-3

3x+5x=8x+y-4y=-3

           8x+y-4y=-3

     8x+3y=-3

         -3     -3

8x=-6
