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

10 to the power of 3 times what equals 630
vekshin1
10³ · x = 630
x = ?

10³ = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000

630 ÷ 1000 = x
630 ÷ 1000 = 0.63
x = 0.63

So we have:

10³ · 0.63 = 630

Can somebody help me with this
neonofarm [45]

The sum of the expression (–x² + x) and (x² – 3x – 1) will be –2x – 1. Then the correct option is D.

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

The expression can be written as

(–x² + x) and (x² – 3x – 1)

Then the sum of the expression (–x² + x) and (x² – 3x – 1) will be

(–x² + x) + (x² – 3x – 1) = –2x – 1

Then the correct option is D.
