Answer:

x = -1.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of a number x and twelve would be: x/12.

But the problem tells us that seven less than this quotient is 5 times the number. Written as an equation and solving for x this would be:

\frac{x}{12}-7=5x\\\frac{x-84}{12} =5x\\ x-84=(12)(5x)\\x-84=60x\\-84=59x\\-84/59=x\\-1.42 = x

Therefore x = -1.42

Make an equation and solve!
jolli1 [7]

Answer: He has 6 dimes and 2 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

If D is the number of dimes and N the number of nickels, we have that:

He has 8 coins:

D + N = 8

He has $0.70 in total:

D*0.10 + N*0.05 = 0.70

Then we have two equations, now we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations and then replace it in the other, let's isolate D in the first equation:

D = 8 - N

Now we can replace it in the other equation:

(8 - N)*0.10 + N*0.05 =  0.70

0.80 - N*(0.10 - 0.05) = 0.70

-N*0.05 = 0.70 - 0.80 = -0.10

N = 0.10/0.05 = 2

D = 8 - N = 8 - 2 = 6

He has 6 dimes and 2 nickels.
