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

Answer:

perimeter is 12x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter is the sum of all sides

3(x+2) + 2x+11 + 7x-23

distribute the 3 in the first term, then combine 'like terms'

3x+6 + 2x+11 + 7x-23

3x+2x+7x + 6+11+(-23)

12x-6

Compare and contrast expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with simplifying numeric expressions. For example, compare
larisa [96]
<span>With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.</span>
