Answer:

There would be 24 dimes and 76 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, start by defining the number of dimes by x and the number of quarters as y. Now we can create a system of equations. Make the first about the total number of coins.

x + y = 100

Make the second about the amount of money.

.10x + .25y = 21.40

Now we can solve using elimination by multiplying the second equation by -4 and adding through.

x + y = 100

-.40x - y = -85.60

-----------------------

.60x = 14.4

x = 24

Now we can use the amount of dimes we have to find the number of quarters.

x + y = 100

24 + y = 100

y = 76

Why is 4b-7-3b+9 equal to b+2
rodikova [14]
The first expression can be simplified by combining like terms.

First, the terms "4b" and "-3b" can be combined to form "b"
Then, the terms "-7" and "9" can be combined to form "2"

Finally, we simply put these two final terms together, to form "b+2"

Hence, 4b-7-3b+9 is equal to be + 2.

Hope this helps!
