Let dimes = d and quarters =q
D + q = 50
D= 50-q
0.10d + 0.25Q = 7.70
Replace d with 50-q:
0.10(50-q) + 0.25q = 7.70
Simplify:
5 -0.10q + 0.25q = 7.70
5 + 0.15q = 7.70
Subtract 5 from both sides:
0.15q = 2.70
Divide both sides by 0.15:
Q = 2.70 / 0.15
Q = 18
D = 50-18 = 32
There are 32 dimes and 18 quarters
-3(-x)-6=-3x+10
-3 -3
(-x)-6=-3x+7
-6 -6
(-x)=-3x+1
i only got this far!! im so sorry!!
3 1/2 pound = 7/2 pounds.
We know that the dog eats 7/2 (3.5) pounds every 21 days since there are 7 days in a week and Mr.Z only buys dog food every 3 weeks.
Set up a proportion. <u>3.5 lb</u> = <u> x </u><u>
</u> 21 days 365 days
<u>
</u>Cross multiply and divide. 3.5 lb x 365 days = 1277.5 / 21 days = 60.83 lb
<u>
