Answer:

  • 18 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes be d and quarters be q

<u>The value is $8.80 = 880¢, so:</u>

  • 10d + 25q = 880 ⇒ 2d + 5q = 176

<u>If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the coins' total value would be $7.30 or 730¢</u>

  • 25d + 10q = 730 ⇒ 5d + 2q = 146

<u>Now we have 2 equations. Solving the system by elimination, subtract 5 times the second equation from twice the first equation:</u>

  • 2(2d + 5q) - 5(5d + 2q) = 2(176) - 5(146)
  • 4d - 25d = -378
  • -21d = -378
  • d = -378/-21
  • d = 18

Answer:

Yes, they're proportional and the constant of proportionality is 7.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

They are proportional because 46.2÷6=7.7 and 107.8÷14 also equals 7.7. This also means that 7.7 is the constant of proportionality.

Examine the system of equations. −5x + 5y = 40 4x + 3y = 24 What is the solution?
Solnce55 [7]
-5x + 5y = 40             -20x +20y =160               -5x + 5(8) = 40
4x + 3y = 24               20x +15y =120                -5x + 40 = 40
                                           35y = 280                   -5x =0
                                               y = 8                         x = 0
