Answer: (A) 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

                <u>Value</u>       <u>Quantity</u>     =  <u>TOTAL Value</u>

dimes:        .10            Q + 5        =    .10(Q = 5)

quarters:    .25               Q           =      .25Q


Dimes + Quarters = $4.00

.10(Q + 5) + .25Q = 4.00

.10Q + .50 + .25Q = 4.00

           .50 + .35Q = 4.00

                    .35Q = 3.50

                          Q = 10

Quarters = 10

Dimes = Q + 5

           = 10 + 5

           = 15

Answer: Option A, she has 10 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have quarters of $0.25 and dimes of $0.10

We have 5 more dimes than quarters and a total of $4.00

How many quarters Ms. Kincaid has?

Q is the number of quarters and D the number of dimes.

We have the system of equations:

D = Q + 5

Q*$0.25 + D*$0.10 = $4.00

First, we can replace the first equation into the second and solve it for Q.

Q*$0.25 + (5 + Q)*$0.10 = $4.00

Q*($0.25 + $0.10) + $0.50 = Q*($0.35) + $0.50  = $4.00

Q = (4.00 - 0.50)/0.35 = 3.50/0.35 = 10

So she has 10 quarters.

The correct option is A.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to solve for y. Since it is a isoceles triangle, the two base angles are equal. You dont even need to solve for y because both of them will equal 73. Now you know two of the angles are 73 degrees, 146 in total. Since you know the total degrees in a triangle is 180, set up an equation that is adding all the angles to equal 180. Then solve for x.

Solve:

73+73+(6x+4)=180

146+6x+4=180

150+6x=180

6x=30

x=5

Blank 1/2 = 422/2 What is the blank
Korvikt [17]

Let x be the blank number

x 1/2= 422/2

Cross multiply

x(1)*(2) = 422*2

2x = 844

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 844/2

x = 422
