Okay, so there are nickels and pennies in this jar.
So, let's call the number of pennies X
Since there are 161 coins altogether, the number of nickels is (161 - X)
So now we solve the equation:
.01X + .05(161 - X) = 3.09
.01X + 8.05 - .05X = 3. 09
4.96 = .04X
124 = X
So, there are 124 pennies
Therefore, there are 161 - 124 = 37 nickels
Let's check our answer:
124 x .01 + 37x .05 = 1.24 + 1.85 = 3.09
It works!
Answer:
-7x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(-7 x 2) - 6x + 9 + (-3 x 2) - x + 7
-14 - 6x + 9 - 6 - x + 7
-7x - 4
Simplifying
4x + 16 + -1x = 22 + 6
Reorder the terms:
16 + 4x + -1x = 22 + 6
Combine like terms: 4x + -1x = 3x
16 + 3x = 22 + 6
Combine like terms: 22 + 6 = 28
16 + 3x = 28
Solving
16 + 3x = 28
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + 3x = 28 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + 3x = 28 + -16
3x = 28 + -16
Combine like terms: 28 + -16 = 12
3x = 12
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 4
Simplifying
x = 4
