Answer:
I think it 6 is the answer I don't know I'm not in middle school
Answer:
something
Step-by-step explanation:
The two numbers I will call x and y.
x + y = 31
x * y = 150
You then solve for one variable in either equation and substitute it into the other equation.
x + y = 31
x = 31 - y
Then you plug it in:
x * y = 150
(31 - y) * y = 150
-y² + 31y = 150
y² - 31y + 150 = 0 Then factor:
(y - 6)(y - 25) = 0
y - 6 = 0 y - 25 = 0
y = 6 y = 25
When you plug y into the original equations, it comes out that the two numbers are 6 and 25. You can check your work because 6+25 = 31 and 6*25 = 150. Hope this helps! :)
Let number of fives = x then number of ones = 3x and number of tens = x - 1
so we can create the equation
x + 3x + x-1 + y = 26 where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27
also we have the equation
5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120
18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x + y = 27 multiply by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x = 5, that is 5 fives
Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y = 40
y = 2 , that is 2 twenties
So the answer is there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5 fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties
