Write a system of equations and solve.
x + y = 10
5x + 10y = 90
Multiply and combine equations
-5x - 5y = -50
5x + 10y = 90
------------------
5y = 40
y = 8
x = 2
There are 2 nickels and 8 dimes in the jar. Hope this helps! :)
Hi
Yes 15 kilometers is 1500000 cm
This is because in metric conversion, you multiply by ten each time you convert to the next unit.
Heres a useful way to remember
K ing (kilo)
H enry (hecto)
D oesn't (deca)
U sually (unit) <-metre, litre ect.
D rink ( deci)
C hocolate (centi)
M ilk (milli)
F=m+25
m+f=139, using f from above we have:
m+(m+25)=139
2m+25=139
2m=114
m=57, and since f=m+25
f=82
So there are 57 males and 82 females.
You'll see how to set up a table, choose appropriate x-values, plug those values into the equation.
