Yes it can and the answer would be 0.5
Terminating decimals are numbers that never stop going after the period. Such an example would be 10/3 which would give 3.333333 indefinitely. 1/2 gives a whole number, that is, 0.5
Answer:
{x,y} = {2,-2}
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] 7x + 3y = 8
[2] 3x - 4y = 14
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
3y + 7x = 8 -4y + 3x = 14
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 3x = 4y + 14
[2] x = 4y/3 + 14/3
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 7•(4y/3+14/3) + 3y = 8
[1] 37y/3 = -74/3
[1] 37y = -74
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 37y = - 74
[1] y = - 2
// By now we know this much :
x = 4y/3+14/3
y = -2
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = (4/3)(-2)+14/3 = 2
Solution :
{x,y} = {2,-2}
Answer:
B) $28.25
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to find how much the discount is.
To find the discount you multiply 75% by $112.99, which equals $84.74.
Now you have to find how much the bike will cost with the discount.
So you have to subtract $112.99 by $84.74, which equals $28.25
So the discounted price of the bike is $28.25.

Answer: 1.75 dollars</h3>
Equivalent to 175 cents
She has 5 dimes and 25 nickels
====================================================
Explanation:
n = number of nickels
d = number of dimes
n+d = 30 since she has 30 coins of just these two types
n = 5d because she has five times as many nickels compared to dimes
-----------------
We'll use substitution to solve this system
n+d = 30
5d+d = 30 ... replace n with 5d
6d = 30
d = 30/6 ... divide both sides by 6
d = 5
Sophie has 5 dimes
n = 5d
n = 5*5 ... plug in d = 5
n = 25
Sophie also has 25 nickels
(5 dimes) + (25 nickels) = 30 coins total
This confirms we have the right coin counts.
-------------------
Let's find the value of each stack of coins
1 nickel = 5 cents
25 nickels = 125 cents (multiply both sides by 25)
1 dime = 10 cents
5 dimes = 50 cents (multiply both sides by 5)
(5 dimes) + (25 nickels) = (50 cents) + (125 cents) = 175 cents
175 cents = (175/100) dollars = 1.75 dollars
