Number of dimes were 81 and number of quarters were 47
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "d" be the number of dimes
Let "q" be the number of quarters
We know that,
value of 1 dime = $ 0.10
value of 1 quarter = $ 0.25
<em><u>Given that There are 128 coins in all</u></em>
number of dimes + number of quarters = 128
d + q = 128 ------ eqn 1
<em><u>Also given that collection of dimes and quarters is worth $19.85</u></em>
number of dimes x value of 1 dime + number of quarters x value of 1 quarter = 19.85
0.1d + 0.25q = 19.85 -------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
From eqn 1,
d = 128 - q -------- eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2</u></em>
0.1(128 - q) + 0.25q = 19.85
12.8 - 0.1q + 0.25q = 19.85
12.8 + 0.15q = 19.85
0.15q = 7.05
<h3>q = 47</h3>Therefore from eqn 3,
d = 128 - q
d = 128 - 47
<h3>d = 81</h3>Thus number of dimes were 81 and number of quarters were 47
Consider the equation:
Subtracting '4' from both the sides of the equation, we get as
Squaring on both the sides of the equation, we get
Subtracting '2' from both the sides of the equation, we get
x=14
Since, An extraneous solution is a solution that arises from the solving process that is not really a solution at all. But, in this equation x=14 is the solution of the given equation.
Hence, it is not an extraneous solution.
