Answer:

There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is 2:14.  But this does not tell us how many dimes nor how many quarters we have.  Instead, it's a ratio.  Modify this by multiplying numerator and denominator by n and then find n:

Number of dimes        2n

----------------------------- = -----

Number of quarters     14n

Then the total number of coins is 2n + 14n =48, implying that:

16n = 48, or n = 3.

Then the number of dimes is 2(n) = 2(3) = 6, and that of quarters is 14(n) =

14(3) = 42.

There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).  Notice how the total of 42 and 6 is 48.

I need the answer and the work! <br> you have to find n.

Tell you what I'll do:  I'll show you the work, for two of them.
Then, knowing how to do it, you'll find the answers.
Deal ?

#1). n + (-13) = -12

Remove the parentheses
on the left side:                     n - 13 = -12

Add  13  to each side:           n        =    1

================================

#3).                        -15 + n  =  3

Add  15  to each side:     n  =  18


OK.  Look those over, understand how they're done, then TAKE IT !

T=v /6 + 5<br> a) Work out the value of T when v = 42
Leno4ka [110]

The value of T in the equation if v = 42 is 12

<h3>How to solve algebra</h3>

Given:

T= v /6 + 5

If v = 42, find T

  • substitute 42 for v in the equation

T= v /6 + 5

T = 42/6 + 5

  • solve the fraction first

T = 7 + 5

T = 12

Therefore, the value of T in the equation if v = 42 is 12
