Answer: Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pennies.

Out of 40 coins, 16 are dimes. This means that the number of coins remaining is

40 - 16 = 24

Half of the remaining coins are quarters. This means that the number of quarters is

1/2 × 24 = 12 quarters

the rest are pennies and nickels. This means that the total number of

pennies and nickels is 12

There are 2 nickels for every penny. This means that the number if nickels is 2x. Therefore,

2x + x = 12

3x = 12

x = 12/3 = 4

there are 4 pennies

Can someone help me solve this question? Step by step please

So what we do is we first get the x on the right side: 7x-x = 6x.

Now we get the 5 to the left side: 71-5= 66.

Now our equation is 66=6x.
We divide 66 by 6 which makes x=11

Solve the following system of equations. 1.) x - 2y = 6 2.) 2x - 4y = 10
k0ka [10]
One way to solve this system of equations would be by substitution. It would helpful to write these equation in the form y=mx + b in order to substitute one equation to the other. We do as follows:

<span>1.) x - 2y = 6
y = x/2 -3

2.) 2x - 4y = 10
y = x/2 - 5/2

As we look at the rearranged equations, we see that their slopes are equal which means they are parallel lines so they do not intersect at one point. There is no solution for this system of equations.</span>

b ) 24 light bulbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Robin is buying energy-efficient light bulbs. Each package of 4 light bulbs costs $13. She has a coupon for $5 off her total purchase.

Each package of 4 light bulbs costs $13.

a.Write an equation to determine the total number of light bulbs, L, for p packages.

1 package = 4 bulbs

L = 4p

Where p = number of packages

b) Then determine the number of light bulbs Robin will get if she buys 6 packages. Show your work.

L = 4p

p = 6 packages

L = 4 × 6

L = 24 light bulbs
