Answer:

4.5 pounds of apples

2.5 pounds of grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = # of apples

(a - 2) = # of grapes

1.68a + 2.48(a - 2) = 13.76

1.68a + 2.48a - 4.96 = 13.76

4.16a = 18.72

a = 4.5; Apples

(a - 2) = 2.5;  Grapes

Sonji has $5.25 in nickels and dimes.The coin value can be modeled by the equation 0.10 d plus 0.05 n equals 5.25, where d repre
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

To find the number of nickels and dimes, we can use this equation: 0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25

We are given the information that Sonji has 21 dimes (which means that d=21). We can use the equation to find the number of nickels n.

0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25

0.10(21) + 0.05n = 5.25

2.10 + 0.05n = 5.25

0.05n = 3.15

n = 3.15 / 0.05

n = 315 / 5

n = 63

Sonji has 63 nickels.

Let's check our answer.

21(0.10) + 63(0.05) = 2.10 + 3.15 = 5.25

It seems that our answer is correct.

nevsk [136]
If I put this into an equation it would look like 2x+2= 66. 66-2= 64. You do this because to get x you have to reverse the equation, but you have to do the number not connected to x first. Then 2x= 64. So you divide 64 by 2 which is 32. So Jordan is 32 years old. Hope this helped!
