I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!
2.75=2 3/4 because you would say 2.75 as two and seventy-five hundredths. Seventy-five hundredths is just like 3 quarters out of 4 because 1 quarter=25. 2=50. 3=75. So, 2.75 as a fraction in simplest form is 2 3/4.

Answer: m² + 3m - 10 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
From the expression, considering
6x + 5 = m
The original expression
( 6x + 5 )² - 10 = -18 - 15
Factorize the right hand expression,
-18 - 15 = -3( 6x - 15 )
Since m = 6x + 5 , we now substitute for m in that expression
m² - 10 = -3m
Now re arrange the equation in the form,
ax² - bx + c = 0
Now back to the equation,
m² + 3m - 10 = 0,
So the equivalent equation will be
m² + 3m - 10 = 0
