Answer:
There are 23 dimes in the box
Step-by-step explanation:
Let nickels=n
Let dimes=(35-n)
Equation: 0.05n+0.10(35-n)=2.90
Multiply both sides by 100: 5n+10(35-n)=290
-5n+350=290
-5n=-60
n=12
35-12=23
Therefore, there are 23 dimes in the box
3/3 I THIB=NKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I think you forgot to put more information at the beginning.
Answer:
x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add 3 to both sides: 1/2x-3+3=9+3
Simplify that: 1/2x=12
Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2: 1/2x*2=2*12
Simplify: x=24
Hope this helped! :)
