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

1- El area de un cuadrado es igual a 8 veces la medida de su lado ¿ Cuánto mide por lado el cuadrado?​
Papessa [141]
El área de un cuadrado es igual a 8 veces la medida de su lado. ¿Cuánto mide por lado el cuadrado ?

El Area de un Cuadrado es : A = L²

L² = 8 x L -------------> L² / L = 8 ----------> L = 8

Cada lado mide 8 unidades.

2) El triple del área de un cuadrado menos seis veces la medida de su lado es igual a cero ¿Cuánto mide por lado el cuadrado?

El Area de un Cuadrado es : A = L²

(3 x L²) - 6 L = 0

Factorizando : 3L ( L - 2 ) = 0 --------> L = 0 ; L = 2

Cada lado mide 2 unidades.

Select the equivalent expression . ( 8^ -5 2^ -2 )^ -4 =?
Vikki [24]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is division inside a set of parentheses, you can distribute the power to each term. When you take a power to another power, you multiply the powers.

-5 x -4 = 20

-2 x -4 = 8

So your answer is:

\frac{8^2^0}{2^8}

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

X=0 or no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+4=-3x+4

cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation

-2x=-3x

move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

-2x+3x=0

collect like terms

x=0
