Let x be the number of nickels and y be the number of quarters.

Then, x + y = 42 --- (1)

It is given that total value = 4.90.

Therefore, 0.05x + 0.25y = 4.9 --- (2)

Multiply (1) by 0.25

0.25x + 0.25y = 10.5 --- (3)

Now, subtract (2) from (3), we get,

0.2x = 5.6

Divide both sides by 0.2.

x = 28

x + y = 42

y = 42 - x

= 42 - 28

= 14

Hence, Mary has 28 nickels and 14 quarters in total.

12(x-20)=-48 what is x
Sophie [7]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x - 20) = -48

Use distributive property

12*x - 12*20 = -48

12x - 240 = -48

Add 240 to both sides

12x = -48 + 240

12x = 192

Divide both sides by 12

x = 192/12

x = 16
