Answer:

  (n, d) = (56, 68)

  Hunter has 56 nickels and 68 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations can be solved by using the second equation to substitute for d in the first equation.

  10(n +12) +5n = 960

  120 +15n = 960 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  15n = 840 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120

  n = 56 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15

  d = 56 +12 = 68 . . . . . . . find d

The solution is n = 56, d = 68. This means Hunter has 56 nickels and 68 dimes.

_____

The meaning of the solution comes from the definitions of the variables.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

There are 880 workers at the company.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can find the total amount of workers at the company which would represent 100% using a rule of three given that 88 workers represent 10% of workers:

88 workers →   10%

       x          ←  100%

x=(88*100)/10= 880

According to this, the answer is that there are 880 workers at the company.

Answer:

26x³ - 12x² + 5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. (2x³ - 3x + 11) - (3x² + 1) x (4 - 8x)
  2. 2x³ - 3x+11 - (12x² - 24x³ + 4 - 8x)
  3. 2x³ - 3x + 11 - 12x² + 24x³ - 4 + 8x
  4. 26x³ + 5x + 7 - 12x²

= 26x³ - 12x² + 5x + 7
