42 and 14

explanation:

x+y = 56
x = 3y

Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14

So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.

Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.

x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56

x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42

So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.

A bank teller knows that she received 34 dimes and nickels from a customer. If the change totaled $2.05, how many dimes and nick
ivanzaharov [21]
D = # of dimes
n= # of nickles

d + n = 34 so d = 34 - n
.10d + .05n = 2.05

substitute d = 34 - n into .10d + .05n = 2.05

.10d + .05n = 2.05
.10( 34 - n) + .05n = 2.05
3.4 - .1n + .05n = 2.05
     -.05n = -1.35
  n = 27

d = 34 - n
d = 34 - 27
d = 7

answer

<span>she received 7 dimes and 27 nickels</span>

You have two fair, six-sides dice. However, the dice have been modified so that instead or 1,2,3,4,5,6 the sides are numbered 1,
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

30.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides on each dice be labeled as 1, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3, 4.

The sample space for the sum of the values being 4 is:

S={1,3; 3,1; 2a,2a; 2a,2b; 2a,2c; 2b,2a; 2b,2b; 2b,2c; 2c,2a; 2c,2b; 2c,2c}

There are 11 possible sums out of the 36 possible outcomes that result in a sum of 4. Therefore, the probability their total is 4 is:

P(S) =\frac{11}{36}=0.3056 =30.56\%

There is a 30.56% probability that their sum is 4.
