Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
A+b+c = 131
b = 7 + 2a and c = a - 12
so a + 7+2a + a-12 = 131
then 4a -5 = 131
then 4a = 136
and a = 34....so b= 75 and c = 22....check 34+75+22=131√
Answer:
if y is -2, your answer is x = -1
if x is -2, your answer is y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is -2,
y = 2 (-2)
y = -4
<em><u>But</u></em>
If y is -2
-2 = 2x
x = -2/2
x = -1

Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c
Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:
25q + 5n = 150
Rearranging to make n the subject:
n = 30 - 5q
Next, we use the second statement:
n = 2q - 5
Substituting this into the first equation:
2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5
Putting this value for q into the first equation:
n = 30 - 5(5) = 5
Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)
Get all the x terms on one side, and the w on the other.
Add 37x on both sides to get 56x+rx=w.
Use the distributive property backwards to get x(56+r)=w.
Divide by 56+r on both sides to get x=w/(56+r)
