Paul owes paula 35 cents...she has a pocket full of nickels,dimes,and quarters.
largest number of coins would be : 7 nickels (7 coins)
smallest number of coins would be : 1 quarter and 1 dime (2 coins)
the difference is : 7 - 2 = 5 coins <=
Answer:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x= 2,
,y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = 5x - 5
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] -4x + 2•(5x-5) = 2
[2] 6x = 12
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 6x = 12
[2] x = 2
// By now we know this much :
x = 2
y = 5x-5
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 5(2)-5 = 5
Solution :
{x,y} = {2,5}
-5x+2y=6
2y=6+5x
y=5/2x + 6
x+3y=3
3y=3-x
y=-x/3+1
-2x+y=4
y=2x+4
4x+9y=-9
9y=-4x-9
y=-4/9x+1
Hope this helps.
Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.
(x+9)(x+2)*4
becomes:
(x^2+11x+18)*4
= 4x^2 + 44x + 72
anyway, this is how I would do this problem:
(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912
(x+9)(x+2) = 228
x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228
x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0
(x+21)(x-10) = 0
x = -21 or 10
The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10
The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4
or 19, 12, 4
