Answer:
right there and its ANSWER
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(n-5)+45
Step-by-step explanation:
where n is the number, you always take away 5 and you add 45 because that is the first number of the sequence
1 nickels =$0.05
1 dime= $0.1
let the number of nickels be x and that of dimes be y.
total number of coins is given by:
x+y=42
hence:
y=42-x.......i
total amount of cash will be:
0.05x+0.1y=3.30.........ii
substituting i in ii we get:
0.05x+0.1(42-x)=3.30
0.05x+4.2-0.1x=3.3
-0.05x=-0.9
x=-0.9/(-0.05)
x=18
hence the the number nickels is x=18, the number of dimes will be y=42-x=42-18=24
a = 2x - 18
remove the parenthesis and simplify
x - 3 + x - a = 15
2x - 3 - a = 18 ( add 3 to both sides
2x - a = 18 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- a = 18 - 2x ( multiply through by - 1 )
a = - 18 + 2x
a = 2x - 18
