A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
B) d + q = 40
Multiplying B) by -.10
B) -.10d -.10q = -4.0
Then adding this to A)
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
.15q = 3.75
Quarters = 25
Therefore, dimes = 15
***************************************************
Double-Check
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
A) .10 * 15 d + .25 * 25 = 7.75
A) 1.50 + 6.25 = 7.75
Correct!!
To start set up a fraction with the f(x) on top and g(x) on bottom
(f/g)(x) = (4x - 4)/(x - 1) - This is the function that we are going to use
Plug in -4 for x
(f/g)(-4) = (4(-4) - 4)/(-4 - 1) = (-16 - 4)/(-5) = (-20)/(-5) = 4
So...
(f/g)(-4) = 4
Answer:
Two equal sides = 14.4 inches each
Shortest side = 7.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
a + b + c = 36
a = b
a = 2c
then:
c = a/2
a + a + a/2 = 36
2a + a/2 = 36
4a/2 + a/2 = 36
5a/2 = 36
a = 2*36/5
a = 72/5
a = 14.4
a = 2c
14.4 = 2*c
c = 14.4/2
c = 7.2
a = b
b = 14.4
Check:
14.4 + 14.4 + 7.2 = 36
