Answer:

3 dimes and 10 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 7 dimes, then the number of dimes and quarters is the same, and the total increases to $3.50. A dime and a quarter have a value together of $0.35. Since there are equal numbers, the value $3.50 must be made up of some quantity of groups with a value of $0.35. That number of groups must be ...

... $3.50/$0.35 = 10

Thus, there are 10 quarters and 10-7 = 3 dimes.

_____

<em>Using an equation</em>

Let q represent the number of quarters. Then the amount Bess has is ...

... 0.10(q -7) +0.25q = 2.80

... 0.35q - 0.70 = 2.80

... 0.35q = 3.50 . . . . . add 0.70 . . . . . . . this should look familiar

... q = 3.50/0.35 = 10

the volume of a rectangular solid, in cubic inches, is given by the expression (x^3-7x+6). if the length and width in inches, ar
nekit [7.7K]
V=x³-7x+6, V=(x-2)(x+3)*h

(x-2)(x+3)*h=x³-7x+6

h{x²+x-6}=x³-7x+6

h=(x³-7x+6)/(x²+x-6)

Therefore h=x-1

-----------------------------

Check answer:

V=(x-2)(x+3)(x-1)

=(x-1)(x²+x-6)

=x(x²+x-6)-1(x²+x-6)

=x³+x²-6x-x²-x+6

=x³-6x-x+6

=x³-7x+6
