O=2a+2,
o/2-a/2=4 this is your system of equations,
It you wish to solve for apples, then simply substitute o from the first equation into the second equation...
(2a+2)/2-a/2=4 multiply both sides of the equation by 2
2a+2-a=8 combine like terms on the left side
a+2=8 subtract 2 from both sides
a=6
So Javier has 6 apples in the basket.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of half dollars and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
- h+q=31 is an equation representing the total number of coins
- 0.50h+0.25q=11 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.50 and 0.25 come from the value of a half dollar and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get h=31-q. We now substitute this for h in the second equation.
0.50(31-q)+0.25q=11
15.5-0.50q+0.25q=11
15.5-0.25q=11
After simplifying, we subtract 15.5 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
-0.25q=-4.5
q=4
We now know of the 31 coins that 4 are quarters.
