Peter has been saving his loose change for several days. When he counted his quarters and dimes, he found they had a total value

of $13.10. The number of quarters was 15 more than 3 times the number of dimes. How many quarters and how many dimes did Peter have?

Peter had 48 quarters and 11 dimes

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

  • <em>Elimination Method</em>
  • <em>Substitution Method</em>
  • <em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

Let :

<em>Number of quarters ( 25 cent coins ) = x</em>

<em>Number of dimes ( 10 cent coins ) = y</em>

<em>When he counted his quarters and dimes, he found they had a total value of $13.10.</em>

<h2>0.25x + 0.10y = 13.10</h2>

<em>The number of quarters was 15 more than 3 times the number of dimes.</em>

<h2>x = 15 + 3y</h2>

If we would like to use the Substitution Method , then second equations above could be substituted into first equations.

0.25x + 0.10y = 13.10

0.25 (15 + 3y) + 0.10y = 13.10

3.75 + 0.75y + 0.10y = 13.10

0.85y = 13.10 - 3.75

0.85y = 9.35

y = 9.35 / 0.85

<h3>y = 11</h3>

At last , we could find the value of x by substituting this y value into one of the two equations above :

x = 15 + 3y

x = 15 + 3(11)

x = 15 + 33

<h3>x = 48</h3>

Answer: Peter had 48 quarters and 11 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "q" the number of quarters and "d" the number of dimes.

We know that $13.10 in cents is 1,310 cents. Then, we can set up the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{25q+10d=1,310} \atop {q=3d+15}} \right.

Applying the Substitution method, we can substitute the second equation into the first one and solve for "d":

25(3d+15)+10d=1,310\\\\75d+375+10d=1,310\\\\85d=1,310-375\\\\d=\frac{935}{85}\\\\d=11

Finally, we must substitute the value of "d" into the second equation to find the value of "q". Then:

q=3(11)+15\\\\q=33+15\\\\q=48

Which expression is equivalent to n2 + 26n + 88 for all values of n?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

The expression which is equivalent to  n^2+26n+88  is; (n+22)(n+4)

Explanation:

Given the equation: n^2+26n+88 for all values of n.

The quadratic equation in this form; ax^2+bx+c =0

First find two numbers that multiply to give ac and add to give b.

From the given equation;

a =1 , b = 26 and c =88

then,

the two number that multiply to give ac =88 is, 22 or 4

and they add up to give b=26 (i.e 22+4)

Now, rewrite the middle term i.e 26n with 22n and 4n , we have

n^2+22n+4n+88=0

Now, factor the first two terms and last two terms,

n(n+22)+4(n+22)

we see that (n+22) is common to both terms so, we have;

(n+22)(n+4)

Therefore, the expression (n+22)(n+4) is equivalent to  n^2+26n+88

Check:

(n+4)(n+22) = n\cdot n+ 22n+4n+88=n^2+26n+88   [ True]

Why are inverse relationships between operations used to solve two step inequalities?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. To isolate the variable, we must reverse the operations acting on the variable. We do this by performing the inverse of each operation on both sides of the equation.

Reverse addition and subtraction (by subtracting and adding) outside parentheses. Reverse multiplication and division (by dividing and multiplying) outside parentheses. When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, flip the inequality sign. It does not matter if the number being divided is positive or negative

It's necessary to apply inverse operations on both sides of the equals signs so that you can solve for the variable and balance the equation.

Multi-step inequalities are solved using the same processes that work for solving equations with one exception. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol. (Much like when you divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must flip! Here's why: When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side!)

notsponge [240]

Answer:

P = 12 + 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

P = a + b + c

P = 7 + (x + 4) + (4x + 1)

  = 7 + x + 4 + 4x + 1

  = 12 + 5x
