Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying 5x + -7 = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -7 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -7 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -7 + 3x = 8 + 0 -7 + 3x = 8 Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 3x = 8 + 7 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 3x = 15 Divide each side by '3'. x = 5 Simplifying x = 5
Answer:16 quarters and 3 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
430/25 (Quarters) = 17
25x16
(Because you can’t have 17 since 25x17=425 leaving no room for dimes.)
=400
Now 430-400=30
30 more cent is needed,
30/10(Dime value)
Is 3, so the answer is the man has 16 quarters and 3 dimes
