Answer:

Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount collected = $8.50 = 8.50*100 = 850 cents

Let,

x be the number of dimes

y be the number of quarters

According to given statement,

10x+25y=850     Eqn 1

y = 3x     Eqn 2

Putting y=3x in Eqn 1

10x+25(3x)=850\\10x+75x=850\\85x=850

Dividing both sides by 85

\frac{85x}{85}=\frac{850}{85}\\x=10

As x represents dimes, therefore, number of dimes is 10.

Hence,

Wilton found 10 dimes while cleaning his father's truck.

Expand (2+x)^-3<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ....
pentagon [3]

Answer:

1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we do is rationalize this expression. (2+x)^-3 is written as

1/(2+x)^3

Then from there we can foil out the denominator. It is easiest to foil (2+x)(2+x) first and then multiply that product by (2+x).

(2+x)(2+x) = 4 + 4x + x^2

(4+4x+x^2)(2+x) = 8+8x+2x^2+4x+4x^2+x^3.

Then we combine like terms and put them in order to get:

x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8

And of course we can't forget that this was raised to the negative third power, so our answer is 1/(x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8)
