Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive odd numbers be represented by x and x+2. Therefore,

x × (x+2) = 483

x² + 2x = 483

x² + 2x - 483 = 0

x² + 23x - 21x - 483 = 0

x(x + 23) - 21(x + 23) = 0

(x - 21) = 0

x = 0 + 21

x = 21

The smaller integer is 21

The larger integer is 21 + 2 = 23.

James has dimes and quarters saved up in his change jar. He has a total of 162 coins totaling $31.20. James has dimes
SashulF [63]

The question is incomplete:

James has dimes and quarters saved up in his change jar. He has a total of 162 coins totaling $31.20 what is the total amount james has in quarters?

a. $10.00

b. $6.20

c.$15.50

d.$25.00

Answer:

d.$25.00

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can write the following equations given that dimes are equal to 0.10 and quarters to 0.25 to determine the number of dimes and quarters that James has:

x+y=162 (1)

0.10x+0.25y=31.20 (2), where:

x is the number of dimes

y is the number of quarters

First, you can solve for x in (1):

x=162-y (3)

Then, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

0.10(162-y)+0.25y=31.20

16.2-0.10y+0.25y=31.20

0.15y=31.20-16.2

0.15y=15

y=15/0.15

y=100

Finally, you have to replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=162-100

x=62

Now, you know that James has 100 quarters and you can multiply this number for the value of a quarter to find the amount James has in quarters:

100*0.25=25

According to this, the answer is that James has $25 in quarters.

Bob purchased 2 hot dogs and 1 hamburger for S10. Later that day, Bob had to purchase more food and
Tom [10]

Answer:

Hotdog: $3.00

Hamburger: $4.00

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first time that Bob buys food, we can make an equation to find how much a single hotdog and a single hamburger costs, where:

x = cost of a hotdog

y = cost of a hamburger

He bought 2 hotdogs and 1 hamburger for $10, so the equation for his first time buying food is:

2x + y = 10

For the second time buying food, he bought 1 hotdog and 3 hamburgers for $15, so his equation would be:

x + 3y = 15

To find the value for x and y we need to solve this system of equations using the two equations we just came up with. We can do this multiple ways, but I'll be demonstrating the substitution method.

Using the second equation, we can solve for x by simply subtracting 3y from both sides:

x = 15 - 3y

We can then insert this value of x into the first equation so that way we are only dealing with one variable to solve - y:

2(15-3y) + y = 10

Distribute out the 2 into the paratheses, combine like terms, and then solve for y:

30 - 6y + y = 10

30 - 5y = 10

-5y = -20

y = 4

This means the cost for one hamburger is $4. But we still need to find the price of one hotdog, so we can insert this value of y into the equation we came up with earlier for x, and then solve for x:

x = 15 - 3y

x = 15 - 3(4)

x = 15 - 12

x = 3

So the price of one hotdog is $3 and the price of one hamburger is $4. Hope this helps.
