So, first lets define our variables:
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels
so our first equation would be x+y = 16
Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows:
.10x+.05y = 1.35
now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:
.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35
combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5
So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels
2/9 • 3/4 • 2/5 = 1/15

Answer: i think the answer is B or C sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
have a nice day
So what you do is distribute the invisible -1 in front of the second parenthasees set and add like terms
remember
x^2+3x^2=4x^2
-(3+4x-x^2)=-1(3x+4x-x^2)=-3-4x+x^2
so first distribute the negative 1
-1(-4f^2-3f+6)=4f^2+3f-6
add
12f^2-9f+15+4f+3f-6
group like terms
12f^2+4f^2-9f+3f+15-6
add
16f^2-6f+9
aswer is 16f^2-6f+9
