X+y=156
<span>0.05x+0.25y=21.6

-1/4*/ x+y=156
1/20x+1/4y=216/10

-1/4x-1/4y=156*-1/4=-39

</span>1/20x+1/4y=216/10
<span>+--------------------------
-4/20x=-17,4

x=87

</span>x+y=156
<span>
87+y=156    y=69

this question answer is </span><span>87 nickels and 69 quarters</span><span>

Write a two-step equation involving division and addition that has a solution of x=25
zavuch27 [327]
If this is what you mean..?

In order to do this you would work backward from the answer.
You have x = 25 and ant to include and addition. As we are working backwards, we use the opposite operation to addition - subtraction. We'll make it an easy number so we will subtract 15 to get to 10.
So far it looks like 10 = 15 + x
Now, to include  a division, we want to do the opposite again, multiplication. Pick any number to multiply 10 by - for this example we'll choose 7.
7 x 10 = 70
Now we can write out the equation -
70/7 + 15 = x
No brackets are required as Division comes before addition in BIDMAS.


An alternate choice would be to have x the other side of the '='

To do this, multiply x by a number of choice (for example 3) to make the divison section of the equation. This makes 75. This can be written as a fraction. 75/x = 3
Next, for the addition, whatever happens on one side, the exact same happens on the other. Pick any number to add on (e.g. 5) and re-write the equation.
75/x + 5 = 8

Sorry if this doesn't make perfect sense

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 70 feet and a leg of 35 feet. What is the length of the other leg? Select one:
saveliy_v [14]
H = 70ft.
P = 35ft.
B = ?

H^2 = P^2 + B^2
70×70 = (35×35) + B^2
B^2 = 4900-1225
B = √3675
B = 35√3 ft.
