Let x = the number of dimes
Let y = the number of pennies.
There are 8 coins, therefore
x + y = 8 (1)
The coins are worth 17 cents, therefore
10x + y = 17 (2)
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2).
10x + y - (x + y) = 17 - 8
9x = 9
x = 1
From (1), obtain
y = 8 -x = 8 - 1 = 7
Answer: 1 dime, 7 pennies.
X = 42
x/3 - 4 = 10
+ 4 +4
x/3 = 14
•3 •3
x = 42
Answer:
a=28
Step-by-step explanation:
a+20=48
a=48-20
a=28
A quadratic equation is an equation that includes a squared term. For example, 3x + 7 = 28 is not a quadratic equation as it only has x, whereas x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 is a quadratic equation as it includes x^2. Quadratic equations also usually have two solutions, whereas linear equations (like my first example) only have one.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to explain anything more :)
