So, first lets define our variables:
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels
so our first equation would be x+y = 16
Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows:
.10x+.05y = 1.35
now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:
.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35
combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5
So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels
It’s really easy all you have to do is plug in the numbers
(In order)
-1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
We have
of 252 people who have a personalized black disc
Number of people who would have personalized flying disc =
people
Then we work out the number of people who like to play disc golf:
people
So we have 15 people who like to play disc golf and have personalised black disc.
Come on now, Tayala !
What if I say to you:
"Start with 3 cows, take away 7 cows, and then add 14 cows. How many are there ?"
Don't let the little 't' scare you. It doesn't matter one bit what 't' really is. It can be
a number, a teacher, a tiger, or a teacup. Whatever it is, you start with 3 of them,
take away 7 of them, and then add on 14 of them. How many are there ?
Hint: If there are not ten of them, then go back and look at the cows again.
