Set up a system of equations.
d + q = 75
.1d + .25q = 14.25

Multiply the first equation by -.1 so that the "d's" will cancel.
-.1d -.1q = -7.5
.1d +.25q = 14.25
Now add the two equations together
      .15q = 6.75
divide both sides by .15
        q = 45
There are 45 quarters in the jar

The solution to an equation is 21
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
An solution to an equation = 21 would be something like 2p + 7

if you wanna know how to solve this 
here is how:
<span>Simplifying 2p + 7 = 21 Reorder the terms: 7 + 2p = 21 Solving 7 + 2p = 21 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + -7 + 2p = 21 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + 2p = 21 + -7 2p = 21 + -7 Combine like terms: 21 + -7 = 14 2p = 14 Divide each side by '2'. p = 7 Simplifying p = 7</span>

Find three consecutive even integers if three times the first integer is two times the third.​
drek231 [11]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the three consecutive even integers are -8, -6 and -4.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the three consecutive even integers are represented by:

n, n + 2, n + 4

The first integer is two times the third, hence:

n = 2(n + 4)

2n + 8 = n

n = -8

Thus:

n = -8

n + 2 = -8 + 2 = -6

n + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4

The integers are -8, -6 and -4.
