Answer:the number of dimes is 22

the number of quarters is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is worth 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 10/100 = $0.1

A quarter is worth 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes.

Let y represent the number of quarters.

Daniele has 33 quarters and dimes in her piggy bank. This means that

x + y = 33

The piggy bank contains a total of $4.95. This means that

0.1x + 0.25y = 4.95 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 33 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.1(33 - y) + 0.25y = 4.95

3.3 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 4.95

- 0.1y + 0.25y = 4.95 - 3.3

0.15y = 1.65

y = 1.65/0.15 = 11

Substituting y = 11 into x = 33 - y, it becomes

x= 33 - 11 = 22

Please help, super hard question for me!
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When using the substitution method we use the fact that if two expressions y and x are of equal value x=y, then x may replace y or vice versa in another expression without changing the value of the expression.

Solve the systems of equations using the substitution method

{y=2x+4

{y=3x+2

We substitute the y in the top equation with the expression for the second equation:

2x+4            =      3x+2

4−2              =        3x−2

2===             =         x

To determine the y-value, we may proceed by inserting our x-value in any of the equations. We select the first equation:

y= 2x + 4

We plug in x=2 and get

y=  2⋅2+4 = 8

The elimination method requires us to add or subtract the equations in order to eliminate either x or y, often one may not proceed with the addition directly without first multiplying either the first or second equation by some value.

Example:

2x−2y = 8

x+y = 1

We now wish to add the two equations but it will not result in either x or y being eliminated. Therefore we must multiply the second equation by 2 on both sides and get:

2x−2y = 8

2x+2y = 2

Now we attempt to add our system of equations. We commence with the x-terms on the left, and the y-terms thereafter and finally with the numbers on the right side:

(2x+2x)  + (−2y+2y) =  8+2

The y-terms have now been eliminated and we now have an equation with only one variable:

4x = 10

x= 10/4 =2.5

Thereafter, in order to determine the y-value we insert x=2.5 in one of the equations. We select the first:

2⋅2.5−2y     =  8

5−8             = 2y

−3               =2y

−3/2            =y

y                 =-1.5
