Jared has some quarters and dimes that total $5.50. If he has 8 more quarters that dimes, how much dimes does Jared have?

MAXImum [283]

Answer: 10 dimes

Solve using system of equations.
q=number of quarters and d=number of dimes
.25q+.10d=5.50 because the total of dimes and quarters is $5.50
8+d=q because there are 8 more quarters than dimes
substitute 8+d for q into the first equation to get .25(8+d)+.10d=5.50
then simplify
2+.35d=5.50
.35d=3.50
d=10 he has 10 dimes

What multiplies to -29 and adds to 1

Margarita [4]

First set up equation
x times y=xy

so
xy=-29
and
x+y=1
subtract x from both sides
y=1-x
subsitute 1-x for y in first equation
x(1-x)=-29
distribute
x-x^2=-29
add x^2 to both sides
x=-29+x^2
subtract x from both sides
0=x^2-x-29
so we can use the quadratic formula to solve for x if the equation=0 and it is in ax^2+bx+c form so

if
ax+bx+c=0 then x= $\frac{ -b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ that means x= $\frac{ -b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ or x= $\frac{ -b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ so

x^2-x-29
a=1
b=-1
c=-29
$\frac{ -(-1)-\sqrt{-1^2-4(1)(-29)} }{2(1)}$ = $\frac{ +1-\sqrt{1^2-(-116)} }{2(1)}=\frac{ +1-\sqrt{1^2+116} }{2}=\frac{ +1-\sqrt{117} }{2}= \frac{1-10.816653826392}{2} = [tex] \frac{-9.816653826392}{2}= -4.908326913196$

the second number is
$\frac{ -(-1)+\sqrt{-1^2-4(1)(-29)} }{2(1)}=\frac{ +1+\sqrt{1^2+(-116)} }{2(1)}= \frac{1+10.816653826392}{2} = \frac{ +1+\sqrt{117} }{2}= \frac{10.816653826392}{2}=5.908326913196$

the two numbers are
5.908326913196 and
-4.908326913196
