A lever in like a pully becasue it can pull just as so. Hope that helped. It is what my teacher taught me.
Answer:
B. 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve this by setting up system of equations:
0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95
x + y = 20
x equals the number of quarters and y equals the number of dimes. 0.25 is the value of a quarter and 0.10 is the value of a dime.
1. Multiply one equation to have the same coefficient as the other
0.10 · (x + y = 20) = 0.10x + 0.10y = 2
2. Subtract to find the value of one variable
0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95
<u>- 0.10x + 0.10y = 2</u>
0.15x = 1.95
3. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.15
x = 13
I am not in 8th grade but it might be the 2nd one
Call the numbers x and y. According to the first sentence, x + y = 67. According to the second sentence, x = y + 5. You can combine these two equations to find the values of these variables:
x + y = 67
(y + 5) + y= 67
2y = 62
y = 31
You can use this to find x by plugging in y to either original equation:
x = y + 5
x = 31 + 5
x = 36
Answer:
Small number = 19
Larger no. = 3(19)+14 = 71
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3x + 14 = 90
4x + 14 = 90
4x = 90 - 14
x = 76 / 4 = 19
