Answer:
3 nickels and 5 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = number of nickels
q = number of quarters
q = n+2
.25q + .05n = 1.40
Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation
.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40
Distribute
.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40
Combine like terms
.30n +.5 = 1.40
Subtract .5 from each side
.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4
.3n = .9
Divide by .3
.3n/.3 = .9/.3
n = 3
q = n+2
q=5
<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a =
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26
b = 22</span>
What do u think the answer is
Answer: 
This is the same as 
and it is also equivalent to 
=====================================================
Explanation:
n is some placeholder for a number
one fourth of that number is 
which is the same as 
or 
since 1/4 = 0.25
From here, we subtract off 2 to get as one possible final answer.
Its because 20 is doubling its self. Its using 100% of its number, While 40 is decreasing by 50%. Half of forty is 20. Half equals 50%.
