Answer: 12a=48
Step-by-step explanation:
4a+6b=10
4a=10-6b
a=(10-6b)/4
a=(5-3b)/2
2a-4b=12
2((5-3b)/2)-4b=12
(5-3b)-4b=12
5-7b=12
-7b=7
b=-1
2a-4b=12
2a-4(-1)=12
2a+4=12
2a=8
a=4
a=4, b=-1
12a=48
6/12=X/18
Using the ratio of 18:12, you multiply 18/12 with 6, which equals 9.
Answer: NJ=9
Answer:
Let's use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line describe the slope and the y-intercept:
y = mx + b where m=slope and b=y-intercept
Answer:
180 coins
Explanation:
N = number of nickels (no nickels spent)
D = number of dimes initially saved
D' = number of dimes left after spending
1) N = D + 43
2) D' = D - 17
3) N = 2*D' = 2*(D - 17)
Set equations 1) and 3) equal to each other and solve for D:
D + 43 = 2*(D - 17)
D + 43 = 2*D - 34
D = 43 + 34 = 77
N = D + 43 = 77 + 43 = 120 nickels left
D' = D - 17 = 77 - 17 = 60 dimes left
Total coins left = 120 + 60 = 180 coins (I hope this is not too confusing for you)
