-3x-1 = 2-(-3)
-3x-1 = 2+3
-3x-1 = 5
-3x = 5+1
-3x = 6
x = 6/(-3)
x = -2
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
2+2(2)=6
2(2)=4
4=4
Since we are adding two positive numbers here, their sum could be found by writing either
8
+4
---
12
or
4
+8
---
12
Given:
Total number of coins (Quarters and dimes) = 60
Total amount = $12.45
To find:
The number of quarters and dimes.
Solution:
Let x be the number of quarters and y be the number of dimes.
We know that,
1 quarter = 0.25 dollar
1 dime = 0.10 dollar
Total coins:
...(i)
Total amount:
...(ii)
From (i), we get
...(iii)
Putting this value in (ii), we get




Divide both sides by 0.15.


Putting x=43 in (iii), we get


So, the number of quarters is 43 and the number of dimes is 17.
Therefore, the correct option is b.
