The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
Answer:
i belive the answer should be x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression
and then 7=1 the statement is false for any value of x
Answer:
552
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of permutation which can be solved by rule of fundamental counting principle.
This principle states that if there "m" ways of doing one thing and "n" ways of doing other. Then no. of ways in which both the things can be done together is "m*n". This can be extended for m, n, p,r, s things and so on.
example: if there are 5 shirts and 3 trousers then number of ways in which the shirts and trousers can be worn is 5*3 = 15 ways.
_____________________________________________
The given problem is on similar concepts.
here 6 short stories, 4 novels, and 23 poems have to be assigned to his class.
Thus it can be done in 6*4*23 = 552 ways.
X=12 because a half of 12 is six.
