Answer:

The value could replace q is 108 - n ⇒ the last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the values of quarters and nickles

- One quarter = 25 cents

- One nickle = 5 cents

- The number of coins is 108

- The coins are nickles or quarters only

- The coins worth $ 21

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The number of coins is 108 coins

- Let the quarter is q and the nickel is n

∴ q + n = 108 ⇒ (1)

∵ The coins worth $21

∵ $ 1 = 100 cents

∴ $21 = 21 × 100 = 2100 cents

∵ The quarter = 25 cents

∵ The nickels = 5 cents

∴ 25q + 5n = 2100 ⇒ (2)

- To find the value which replace q use equation (1)

∵ q + n = 108 ⇒ subtract n from both sides

∴ q = 108 - n

* The value could replace q is 108 - n

Answer:

<u>Option b. (x = 3, y = 20, z = -14)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x + 2y + 3z = 4

5x + 3y + 5z = 5

3x + 4y + 6z = 5

Solve using Cramer’s rule

∴ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&3\\5&3&5\\3&4&6\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\5\\5\end{array}\right]$

∴A = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&3\\5&3&5\\3&4&6\end{array}\right] = -1$

Ax = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2&3\\5&3&5\\5&4&6\end{array}\right] = -3$

Ay = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&4&3\\5&5&5\\3&5&6\end{array}\right] =-20\\$

Az = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&2&4\\5&3&5\\3&4&5\end{array}\right] = 14$

∴ x = Ax/A = -3/-1 = 3

y = Ay/A = -20/-1 = 20

z = Az/A = 14/-1 = -14

<u>So, the answer is option b. (x = 3, y = 20, z = -14)</u>
