Answer:

7 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the guess method.

17 coins altogether, and as many dimes as pennies.

The number of quarters must be odd. When you subtract an odd number of quarters from 17, you get an even number which will divide by 2 evenly giving you the same number of pennies and dimes.

Start with a guess of 7 quarters.

17 - 7 = 10

7 quarters + 5 pennies + 5 dimes have a value of $2.30

Wow, I got it with the first guess.

Answer: 7 quarters

Answer:The equation would be 230 = 25y + 10x + 1x or 230 = 25y + 11x

You would then need to solve for x and y, which I forget how to do with 2 variables but since we're working with small numbers what I would do is continuously subtract 25 from 230 until the remainder is divisible by 11.

230 - 25*7 = 55 = 11*5

x = 5

Ok, adding the equation 2x+y = 17 you will now be able to solve for the two variables using a system of equations.

yes, you can come up with an equation. actually, you can come up several equations to generate a system of equations.

your first equation is correct.

(1) 25q + 10d + 1p = 230

now, you're told that the number of dimes equals the number of pennies. that just means, in symbols:

(2) d = p

finally, you're told that you have 17 coins in all, i.e.:

(3) q + d + p = 17

you now have three equations and three unknowns. use (2) to reduce (1) and (3).

(1′) 25q + 11d = 230

(3′) q + 2d = 17

now solve for the three variables.

Factor the expression using the two different techniques listed for Parts 1(a) and 1(b).
Natalija [7]

Answer:

9a^4 b^10(2 +3a^6 b^5)  (2 -3a^6 b^5)

see work below

Step-by-step explanation:

36a^4b^10 - 81a^16b^20

A)  find the GCF

36a^4b^10 = 4*9 a^4b^10  = 2*2*3*3 a*a*a*a*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b

81a^16b^20= 9*9a^16b^20= 3*3*3*3* a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a                *b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b

The terms that appear in both terms is the GCF.  The terms that remain are inside the parentheses.

The GCF is 3*3 a*a*a*a*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b

36a^4b^10 - 81a^16b^20 = 3*3 a*a*a*a*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b *

( 2*2 - 3*3a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b)

Combining like terms

36a^4b^10 - 81a^16b^20 = 9a^4b^10(4-9a^12b^10)

The expression inside the parenthesis can be factored using the difference of squares

let x^2 =4   x =2  

y^2 = 9a^12 b^10   y = 3a^6b^5

(x^2 -y^2) = (x+y)(x-y)

9a^4b^10(4-9a^12b^10) = 9a^4b^10 ( 2+3a^6b^5) ( 2-3a^6b^5)

b) difference of squares  a^2 – b^2 = (a + b)(a – b)

let a^2 = 36a^4b^10

so a = 6a^2b^5

b^2 = 81a^16b^20

b = 9a^8 b^10

a^2 – b^2 = (a + b)(a – b)

36a^4b^10 - 81a^16b^20 = (6a^2b^5 +9a^8 b^10) (6a^2b^5 -9a^8 b^10)

We can factor a 3 a^2 b^5 out of the first term

3 a^2 b^5 (2 +3a^6 b^5) (6a^2b^5 -9a^8 b^10)

3 a^2 b^5 (2 +3a^6 b^5) 3 a^2 b^5 (2 -3a^6 b^5)

Multiply the terms outside the parentheses together

9a^4 b^10(2 +3a^6 b^5)  (2 -3a^6 b^5)
