You can multiply both sides by a number that will get rid of the denominators. For ex. you can multiply the first equation by 12 because 4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly. MAKE SURE YOU MULTIPLY THE OTHER SIDE BY 12 AS WELL! Therefore, 12(x/4) - 12(y/3) = 12(1), or 3x - 4y = 12
13. Answer: n ≥ 108
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
18 ≤ n ÷ 6
<u>×6 </u> <u> ×6 </u>
108 ≤ n → n ≥ 108
Note: The line under the inequality symbol represents a closed dot

14. Answer: x > -4
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
-3x < 12
<u>÷(-3) </u> <u>÷(-3) </u>
x > -4 <em>Flip the inequality sign when × or ÷ by a negative </em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the number of dimes. Then the number of quarters is 2d-3 and the total value of the coins is ...
0.10d + 0.25(2d-3) = 7.05
0.60d -0.75 = 7.05 . . . . . . . simplify
d = (7.05 +0.75)/0.60 = 13 . . . . add 0.75, divide by 0.60
2d-3 = 2·13 -3 = 23
Brandon has 23 quarters and 13 dimes.
