Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 2x and 9x ( 2x-9x= -7x)
subtract 17 and -4 ( -4 -17= -21)
divide -21 and -7 ( -21 / -7= -3)
x=3

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation: Simplify both sides

2x - 9x + 17 = -4

2x + - 9x + 17 = -4

Combine like terms

(2x + -9x) (17) = -4

-7x + 17 = -4

Subtract 17 from both sides

-7x + 17 - 17 = -4 - 17

-7x = -21

Divide both sides by -7

-7x/-7 = -21/-7

x = 3

Kevin and randy muise have a jar containing 68 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. the total value of the coins

Monica [59]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of quarters
y: number of nickels
We now write the system of equations:
x + y = 68
0.25x + 0.05y = 13.40
Solving the system we have:
x = 50
y = 18
Answer:
they have:
quarters = 50
nickels = 18
