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

mestny [16]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will have to open the bracket first

So let's solve

3(x-5)=18

Open the bracket

3x-15=18

Add 15 to both sides

3x=3

Make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 3

x=1

So the final answer is 1

explain how to solve for the missing side from the similar figures given and solve. (do not just give the answer)
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, you first line up the sides. Then, because the 16 and the 24 line up together, you divide them to find out how much bigger the first triangle is, which is 3/2 or 1.5. After that, you can see that the 21 and the x are on the same side, so you would divide 21 by 1.5 or 3/2 to get x. 21÷1.5=14.

x=14
