(<em>q = quarters, n = nickles</em>)

<u>First, create your system of equations:</u>

   25q + 5n = 535 cents

   n = 2q - 5

<u>Second, Substitute for n:</u>

   25q + 5(2q - 5) = 535

<u>Simplify:</u>

   25q + 10q - 25 = 535

<u>Simplify to solve for q:</u>

   35q=560

   q=16

<u>Next, solve for n by plugging the value of q back into the equation:</u>

   n=2q - 5

   n=32-5

   n=27

There would be 16 quarters and 27 nickles.

The equation A = x(x-4) describes the area, A, of a rectangular flower garden, where x is the width in feet.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The flower garden width would be 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 12 ft^2 = x(x + 4) becomes:

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0, or (by completing the square) x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4 - 12 = 0

Thus, we have (x + 2)^2 - 16 = 0, or (x + 2)^2 = 16

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 2 = ±4.

In this context only a positive x value makes sense:  x = 2 + 4  =>  x = 6.

The flower garden width would be 6 ft.  The other dimension would be 6 - 4, or 2, ft.
