We will represent everything in cents
nickles are worth 5 cents and dimes are 10 cents
n=number of nickles
d=number of dimes
60 total coins
n+d=60
total is 430 cents
5n+10d=430
divide both sides by 5
n+2d=86
we gots
n+d=60 and
n+2d=86
eliminate
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation
-n-d=-60
<u>n+2d=86 +</u>
0n+1d=26
d=26
so
n+d=60
n+26=60
n=34
34 nickles and 26 dimes
It’s the 3rd answer choice
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is <span>length = 10 yd, width = 2 yd
proof
</span><span>The length of the playground is 5 times longer than its width, it means
l=5w, but 10= 2x5 so we can write l= 5w,
and Area = 20 =l x w = (5x2) x 2 =20</span>
