He would need exactly 20 more dimes.
42 x 18 = 756
776 divided by 756 = 20
X(x - 2) = 4 [upon multiplying and moving the 4 becomes x² - 2x - 4 = 0] x(2x + 3) = 12 [upon multiplying and moving the 12 becomes 2x² - 3x - 12 = 0] 3x(x + 8) = -2 [upon multiplying and moving the -2 becomes 3x² + 24x + 2 = 0]
Answer:
n=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given -> -2(n+5)+6n=14
Distributive Property -> -2n-10+6n=14
Combine like terms -> 4n-10=14
Add 10 to both sides -> 4n=24
Divide both sides by 4 -> n=6
So n=6
