Let x be the number of dimes

and y be the number of quarters

Total number of coins = 12

So number of dimes + number of quarters = total number of coins

x + y = 12 ---------> equation 1

We know, 1 Quarter = 25 cents, 1 Dime = 10 cents, total cents = 196

y quarters = 25y cents , x dimes = 10x cents

x dimes + y quarters = 195 cents

10x + 25y = 195 -----------> equation 2

Now solve both equations

x + y =12, we solve for y by subtracting x on both sides

y = 12-x

Now substitute y in second equation

10x + 25(12-x) = 195

10x + 300 -25x = 195 (combine like terms)

-15x + 300 = 195 (subtract 300 on both sides)

-15x = -105 ( divide by -15)

x=7

y= 12-x

y=12-7 = 5

The number of dimes = 7

Number of quarters = 5

3x-8y=24 <br> y=x-8<br> Please show <br> work
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3x - 8y = 24   --------(1)

y = x - 8  ---------(2)

substitute  y in (1)

3x - 8( x - 8) = 24

3x - 8x + 64 = 24

-5x = 24 - 64

-5x = -40

5x = 40

x= 8

substitute x in (2)

y = 2 - 8

y = - 6

What is 2,001÷83 pls help i need to check my answer
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

24.11

Step-by-step explanation:

2001 ÷ 83

83×2= 166

200-166=34 bring down the 1

341 ÷ 83

83×4= 332

341-332=9 add a decimal and bring down a 0

90÷83

90-83=7 bring down another 0

70÷83=0 brind down another 0 since 70 cannot be divided by 83 and have a whole number

700÷83

83×8=664

700-664=36

right now you have 24.108

round to the nearest tenth

24.11
