The largest of the three would be 53, then 51, then 49.
Answer:
726
Step-by-step explanation:
Here p = k / q², and 24 = k / 121, or k = 2904
Then p = 2904 / q²
If q = 2, p = 2904 /4 = 726
Answer:
n+18
Step-by-step explanation:
A number n just means a variable n, and since we are increasing it (or adding to it), by 18, it is n+18
Answer:
3 dimes and 10 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add 7 dimes, then the number of dimes and quarters is the same, and the total increases to $3.50. A dime and a quarter have a value together of $0.35. Since there are equal numbers, the value $3.50 must be made up of some quantity of groups with a value of $0.35. That number of groups must be ...
... $3.50/$0.35 = 10
Thus, there are 10 quarters and 10-7 = 3 dimes.
_____
<em>Using an equation</em>
Let q represent the number of quarters. Then the amount Bess has is ...
... 0.10(q -7) +0.25q = 2.80
... 0.35q - 0.70 = 2.80
... 0.35q = 3.50 . . . . . add 0.70 . . . . . . . this should look familiar
... q = 3.50/0.35 = 10
