Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar the ratios of corresponding sides are equal
= , that is
= ( cross- multiply )
20(4x + 2) = 84x
80x + 40 = 84x ( subtract 80x from both sides )
40 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Number of quarters → 15
Number of dimes → 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dimes I have = y
And number of quarters = x
Since, I have amount in my pocket = $2
Therefore, 0.10y + 0.25x = 2
100(0.10y + 0.25x) = 100×2
25x + 10y = 200
5x + 2y = 40
2y = -5x + 40
y = -2.5x + 20 ---------(1)
Total number of coins in my pocket = 17
x + y = 17
y = -x + 17 ---------(2)
By using a graphing calculator we can graph these two lines (As attached)
Solution of the given system of equations will be the point of intersection of these lines.
Solution → (2, 15)
Number of quarters → 15
Number of dimes → 2
Answer:
the ordered pair is (2,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the system of equations using elimination method
12x - y = 25 eq(1)
9x + y = 17 eq(2)
Adding eq(1) and eq(2)
12x - y = 25
9x + y = 17
___________
21x = 42
x = 42/21
x= 2
Now, putting value of x in equation 1
12x - y = 25
12(2) -y = 25
24 -y = 25
Adding -24 on both sides
24 -y-24 = 25-24
-y = 25-24
-y = 1
Multiply both sides by -1
y = -1
the value of x = 2 and y = -1
So, the ordered pair is (2,-1)
