Answer:

Barney got 14 dimes and Betty got 10 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are only dimes and quarters in the parking meter, the total money must be equal to:

0.1*dimes + 0.25*quarters = 3.9

Since Barney got all the dimes and he has four more coins than Betty, then the number of dimes is:

dimes = quarters + 4

Applying the second expression on the first, we have:

0.1*(quarters + 4) + 0.25*quarters = 3.9\\0.1*quarters + 0.4 + 0.25*quarters = 3.9\\0.35*quarters = 3.9 - 0.4\\0.35*quarters = 3.5\\quarters = \frac{3.5}{0.35} = 10

dimes = quarters + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14

Barney got 14 dimes and Betty got 10 quarters.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Total payback for Loan type 1 = $354,625.20

Total payback for Loan type 2 = $278,618.40

Explanation

Total payback of a loan consists of the summation of the amount of mortgage to be paid and total interest to be paid after the given number of years.

Total payback of a loan can also be calculated by multiplying your monthly payment of the loan by the total number of months given for payment.

a. For Loan type 1

In the question we have been given or monthly payment = $985.07

The formula for Total payback for Loan type 1 = Monthly payment × number of months

Numbers of years for payment of loan = 30 years

1 years = 12 months

Hence,

Number of months = 30 years × 12 months

Number of months = 360 months

Total payback of loan = $985.07 × 360 months

= $354,625.20

b. For Loan type 2

In the question we have been given or monthly payment = $1160.91

The formula for Total payback for Loan type 1 = Monthly payment × number of months

Numbers of years for payment of loan = 30 years

1 years = 12 months

Hence,

Number of months = 20 years × 12 months

Number of months = 240 months

Total payback of loan = $1160.91 × 240 months

= $278,618.4

Solve the system of equations by substitution. What is the solution for x? 2x + y = 1 4x + 2y = −1
lapo4ka [179]
Solve your system of equations.

2x+y=1;4x+2y=−1

Solve 2x+y=1 for y:

2x+y+−2x=1+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)

y=−2x+1

Substitute (−2x+1) for y in 4x+2y=−1:

4x+2y=−1

4x+2(−2x+1)=−1

2=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

2+−2=−1+−2(Add -2 to both sides)

0=−3

Answer: No solution. C)
