So, you have to have your equation in terms of dimes. What you said about what he has: four more nickels than dimes in his pocket. Will help with our equation.
We know what a nickel and dime is worth. A nickel is .05 and a dime is .1
We don't know how many dimes are in his pocket, since we're trying to solve it.
.1x+(4+x).05=1.25;
In the parenthesis, it shows how there are four more nickels. Let's solve it now.
.1x + (4+x).05=1.25
.1x + .2+ .05x = 1.25; Let's add like terms.
.15x + .2 = 1.25; Subtract .2 from both sides.
.15x= 1.05
1.05÷.15= 7 =x
There are 7 dimes in his pocket, let's check our answer.
We now know there are 11 nickels, since there are four more nickels than dimes.
11(.05) +.1(7) = 1.25
.55+ .7 = 1.25
Now that we've tried it, we know there are 7 dimes in his pocket.
Tell me if this helps!
I am assuming you meant to write the following options
A. f(x)=x+3; g(x)=√x
B. f(x)=x; g(x)=x+3
C. f(x)=√x; g(x)=x+3
D. f(x)=3x; g(x)=√x
You need to find a fucntion f(x) that once evaluated in g(x) gives us as a result h(x)
h(x) = g(f(x))
Looking at the options, the answer is A.
g(f(x)) = sqrt(f(x)) = sqrt (x + 3) = h(x)
The answer would be you can’t simplify the first one but the second would be 15 square root 5
Hope this helps
Have a great day/night
