The correct way to express your answer somewhat escapes me for the moment (insomnia for days) but the first answer doesn't satisfy ALL of your question because the total amount of money exceeds the given total of $4.25. I know that you have 15 quarters and 5 dimes to satisfy everything. 15+5=20 coins and 15x.25=3.75
5x.10=.50
$3.75 + .50 = $4.25
I hope this helps and you can convey it properly.

25q + 10d = 425
q + d = 20

First thing's first, picture 4 quarters. Do you know how much these 4 quarters are worth? Obviously, you'd answer one dollar, but take the time to think about how exactly you came up with this answer.

"Well, it's simple," you might think, "Multiply 0.25 by 4."

Similar to this train of thought, the first equation is formulated by doing exactly that. 'q' represents an unknown number of quarters, and 'd' an unknown number of dimes. We use 25q and 10d, because, well, we're multiplying their value by the number of coins. They're equivalent to 425 because the 20 unknown coins make $4.25 (I converted it to cents to get rid of the pesky decimals, but if you want to keep it as dollars that works too).

Because the equation states that there are 20 coins in total, we know that we can make the equation 'q + d = 20' since there are 20 quarters and dimes in total.

Let me know if you need any further explanation :)

What is the weight, in Newtons, of a person on Earth whose mass is 90 kilograms? Gravity near the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s2.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

W = 882 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The weight of a person, W = 90 kg

The value of acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

We need to find the weight of the person on Earth. The formula for the weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

Substitute all the values,

W = 90 kg × 9.8 m/s²

W = 882 N

So, the weight of the person is equal to 882 N.

1. John’s age is three times that of his sister. When you add John’s age to his sister's age, you get 36. How old are John and h
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

sister = 6 years

John=18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A(S) + 12 = 3 * A(S), subtracting A(S) from both sides one gets 12 = 2 * A(S). Now dividing both sides by 2 we get A(S) = 12/2 = 6 . Therefore, the age of the sister is 6 years when her brother John is three times as old, that is 18 years.
