Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent nickels & d dimes

given: n + d = 25 #1 (number of coins)

given: .05n + .10d = 1.65 #2 (amount in dollars)

n = 25 - d #3 (rewrite of #1)

.05(25 -d) + .10d = 1.65 (substitute #3 in #2)

1.25 - .05d + .10d = 1.65 (multiply out the left side)

.05d = .40 (collection of like terms)

d = 8 (divided both sides by.05)

n + 8 = 25 (substitute answer for d in #1)

n = 17 (subtract both sides by 8)

There are 8 dimes and 17 nickels.

Check:

17(.05) + 8(.10) = 1.65 (answers in #2)

.85 + .80 = 1.65 (multiply out the left side)

1.65 = 1.65 ✔️ QED

Given that 2x + 1 =5, what is the value of (x+3)^3
Alla [95]

Answer: 125

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for x in the first equation.

1) Subtract 1 from both sides.

2x = 4

2) Divide by 2 on both sides.

x = 2

Next, substitute the value of x into the second expression.

(2 + 3)^3

= 5^3

= 125

The sum of 2 numbers (x and y) is 20, and their product is 51. What are the values of x and y
Murljashka [212]

Answer: 13&7

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers x&y is 20

Product of the 2numbers xy is 51

X+y=20......equation 1

XY=51.........equation 2

X=20-y.......equation 3

Substitute for x inequation 3 into equation 2

So we have;

(20-y)y=51

Open the bracket

20y-y^2=51

Collect like terms,so we have

Y2-20y+51=0

Factorise

Factors of 51 is 13&7

So -13-7=-20 &-13×-7=51

Substitute

Y2-13y-7y+51=0

Y(y-13)-7(y-13)=0

(Y-7)(y-13)=0

Y-7=0

Y=7 or

Y-13=0

Y=13

Y=13 or 7

Substitute for y in equation 1

X+y=20

X+7=20

X=20-7

X=13 or

X+13=20

X=20-13

X=7

Therefore, X &Y = 13 &7
