1 inch = 5 miles
1 square inch =25 square miles
25 square miles x 75 square inches = 1,875 square miles
Answer : 1,875 square miles
The answer is x = -19
Solution:
9(x + 1) = -162
Expand:
9x + 9 = -162
9x = -162 - 9
9x = -171
x = -171/9
x = -19
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
x = number of nickels in the student's pocket
y = number of dimes in the student's pocket
Each nickel has a value of $0.05, so x nickels have a value of 0.05x
Each dime has a value of $0.10, so y dimes have a value of 0.10y
The student has a total of 10 coins, thus:

The total value of the coins is $0.85, thus

The system of linear equations that represents this scenario is:

The two numbers are 12 and 16. 12 + 6 = 18. 6 doubled is 12. 12 plus 6 equals 18.
