So Maurice would have 2N nickels
Total number of coins is N + 2N + 9 = 3N + 9
Each nickel is 5 pennies
3N of nickels = 15N pennies
-----------
Their worth is 84 cents
15N + 9 = 84
15N = 75
N = 75/15 = 5
N = 5
This means Nina has 5 nickels.
Answer:
X Y
1 5
4/5 4
2/5 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=5x
We we know y we need to solve for x
X Y
5
4
2
Let y =5
5 = 5x
Divide by 5
5/5 =5x/5
1=x
Let y =4
4 = 5x
Divide by 5
4/5 =5x/5
4/5=x
Let y =2
2 = 5x
Divide by 5
2/5 =5x/5
2/5=x
X Y
1 5
4/5 4
2/5 2
X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=118 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696
we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42
x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76
Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.
If 24 is a solutoin of x, n has to be 24 squared. 24*24=576
