<span><em>12 pennies, 3 nickles, and 2 dimes</em>
p = number of pennies
n = number of nickles
d = number of dimes
p(1) + n(5) + d(10) = 47
that is, the number of pennies x 1 cent + number nickles x 5 cents
+ number of dimes x ten cents equals 47 cents
p = 4n
p + n + d = 17
Substituting 4n for p in the above
4n + n + d = 17
5n + d = 17
Subtract 5n from each side
d = 17 - 5n
We will now substitute 4n for p and ( 17-5n ) for d in
the equation
p(1) + n(5) + d(10) = 47
4n(1) +n(5) + (17-5n)(10) = 47
9n + 170 - 50n = 47
-41n + 170 = 47
Subtract 170 from each side
-41n = 47 - 170
-41n = -123
Divide each side by -41
n = 3
Since p = 4n
p = 4(3)
p = 12
Since p + n + d = 17
12 + 3 + d = 17
15 + d = 17
d = 2
So we have 12 pennies, 3 nickles and 2 dimes
12 + 3(5) + 2(10) ?= 47
12 + 15 + 20 ?= 47</span>
Answer:
3x - 2y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find the slope
slope m = (y2 - y1)(/x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 1)/(3 - 1) = 3/2
Step 1: Use the formula y = mx + b to solve
This is slope-intercept form of a line. We have a slope of 3/2, and a point (x, y), which is (1, 1). Plug those values into the equation above and solve for b (the only variable we are missing
1 = (3/2)(1) + b
1 = 3/2 + b
1 - 3/2 = b
2/2 - 3/2 = b
-1/2 = b
Step 2: Rewrite the formula using the slope and the b value we just calculated
y = (3/2)x - 1/2
Step 3: Standard form of a line is ax + by = c, where a is a positive integer, so we rearrange the equation from step 2 to standard form.
y = (3/2)x - 1/2
-(3/2)x + y = -1/2 (subtract (3/2)x from both sides)
-3x + 2y = -1 (multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction on x)
3x - 2y = 1 (multiply by -1 so a becomes positive)
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be y.
Since the difference of two numbers is 5,then the larger number will be: y+5
The sum of three times the larger number and twice the smaller number is 30. This can be written as:
3(y+5) + 2y = 30
3y + 15 + 2y = 30
5y + 15 = 30
5y = 30 - 15
5y = 15
y = 15/5
y = 3
The smaller number is 3
