Answer:
9x^2 - 49y^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide each number by the previous one, you get:
-86 / -172 = 1/2
-43 / -86 = 1/2
-21.5 / -43 = 1/2
The common ratio is 1/2 = 0.5
Hi there! :)
<u>Answer:</u>
Jaime has 30 dimes in his pocket.
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, you need to know that:
A <em>quarter</em> is equal to = <u>$0.25</u>
A <em>dime</em> is equal to = $0.10
Jaime has 6 quarters, which means that he has 6 times $0.25:
6 × 0.25 = <u>$1.50</u>
Jaime has a total of $4.50 → Subtract the amout of money represented by the quarters and you'll be left with the amout of money represented by the dimes:
4.50 - 1.50 = <u>$3</u>
Jaime has $3 worth of dimes in his pocket. In order to know how many dimes $3 represents, you'll need to divide "3" by 0.10, which is what 1 dime is worth:
3 ÷ 0.10 = <u>30</u> → YOUR ANSWER
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
Answer:
Let bags of pecans cost = x
Make an equation :
Bags of almonds cost = x + 3 (they said almonds cost 3 dollars more)
Total number of bags ordered: (3 bags pecans) + (5 bags of almonds)
Cost for pecans = 3x
Cost for almonds = 5(x + 3) = 5x + 15
Price of pecans + price of almonds = total cost
Solve for x:
3x + 5(x + 3) = 55 (remove brackets)
3x + 5x + 15 = 55 (add like terms)
8x + 15 = 55
8x + 15 - 15 = 55 - 15 (get rid of the 15)
8x = 40
8x/8 = 40/8
x = 5
bags pecans cost is $5
bags of almonds is $5+$3 = $8
