X= number of dimes
x+6= number of quarters
5(x+6)= number of nickels
$5.40= 540 cents
Add the number of each coin and set it equal to the total in cents.
x + (x + 6) + 5(x + 6)= $5.40
multiply 5 by parentheses; change dollar total to cents
x + (x + 6) + (5 * x) + (5 * 6)= 540
x + (x + 6) + 5x + 30= 540
combine like terms
7x + 36= 540
subtract 36 from both sides
7x= 504
divide both sides by 7
x= 72 dimes
x + 6= 78 quarters
5(x + 6)= 390 nickels
CHECK
72 + 78 + 390= 540
540= 540
ANSWER: There are 72 dimes, 78 quarters and 390 nickels.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
x = 62.23 ft
y = 47.67 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y=3x+1, or the second option
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see on the graph the line converges with the y-axis at (0, 1), so we can cross out the last two answers. Then we can also see that the slope is 3 on the graph and an equation that has x^2 must be a parabola. The answer is then narrowed down to the second option.
5(-4)+22 = (-4)+6
-20+22 = -4+6
2 = 2
Maria is correct, since both sides equally match.
