Answer:
37 dimes and 10 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
let d = # dimes
let n = # nickels
we can set up a system of equations:
n + d = 47
.05n + .10d = 4.2
if we solve the first equation for 'n' we get:
n = 47-d
now we can substitute this in for 'n' in the second equation:
.05(47-d) + .10d = 4.2
2.35 - .05d + .10d = 4.2
2.35 + .05d = 4.2
subtract 2.35 from each side to get:
.05d = 1.85
d = 1.85÷.05
d = 37
if d+n = 47 and d=37 then n = 10
Check:
.05(10) + .1(37) should equal 4.2
.50 + 3.7 = 4.2 [It Checks Out]
Answer:
y=14+(2/3x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Your main goal is to get Y by itself on one side.
To start subtract 2x from both sides. This will give you -3y=42-2x.
Then you divide both sides by -3 to get Y by itself.
That will leave you with ...
y=14+(2/3x)
(remember the negatives cancel each other out)
Answer:
7 Zuchini, 14 Cucumbers and 22 Tomatoes plants.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let the number of tomatoes=t
- Let the number of cucumber planted=c
- Let the number of zucchini planted=z
- Total Number of Plants=43
She planted twice as many cucumbers as zucchini, this is written as:
She also planted eight more tomatoes than cucumbers, this is written as:
In total, she planted 43 plants
Therefore:
z+(2z)+(2z+8)=43
5z+8=43
5z=43-8
5z=35
Divide both sides by 5
z=7
Number of Cucumbers, c=2z=2 X 7 =14
Number of Tomatoes, t=c+8=14+8=22
Therefore, she planted 7 Zuchini, 14 Cucumbers and 22 Tomatoes plants.
