The two equations for the set up are:
x+y=23 where x is the number of dimes and y is the number of nickles
10x+5y=185 
Now you solve by elimination and substitution.
Multiply your first equation by -5 and add the two equations together
-5x-5y=-115
+10x+5y=185
-------------------
5x=70
x=14

Substitute that into your original equation:
14+y=23
y=9

So you have 14 dimes and 9 nickles.

Hope this helps

Lisa's store collects 5% sales tax on every item sold. If she collected $22.00 in sales tax, what was the cost of the items her
Ede4ka [16]
Since we are looking for the principal amount, then all we have to do is reverse the process of getting the amount of tax. In order to get the principal, you just have to divide 22 with 0.05. The answer is 440 so that is the principal amount you are looking for.

Natali5045456 [20]

Given :

A boat is being pulled into a dock with a rope attached to the boat at water level. When the boat is 12 feet from the dock, the length of the rope form the boat to the dock is 3 feet longer than twice the height of the dock above the water.

To Find :

The height of the dock.

Solution :

This will make a right angle triangle as given in link below .

Now , applying Pythagoras theorem :

(2h+3)^2=h^2+12^2\\\\4h^2+9h+9=h^2+144\\\\h^2+4h-45=0\\\\(h-5)(h+9)=0

Now , h = 5 or h = -9 .

Now , height cannot be negative .

So , height of the dock is 5 ft .

Hence , this is the required solution .

3x-4 or = to 7<br><br><br> plz help
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

3 + 4 = 7  which is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you have an equation with a plain variable (that is, no exponent included), there is only one number that will work when substituted for x.

To solve it, you have to "undo" what is done to the variable. You also go in the reverse order of operations, so you do the addition/subtract first, then multiplication/division.

You also have to do the same to both sides, kind of like keeping a balance scale in balance.

In this case, we subtract 4 from both sides first:

3x + 4 -4 = 7 - 4

The + 4 - 4 cancel each other out, so you get:

3x = 3

3x means "3 times x" so you divide by 3 to undo it. I will use the / to indicate division:

3x / 3 = 3 /3  

so 1x = 1.

Since 1x is "1 times x" it is the same as x by itself, so:

x=1

AND, if we substitute 1 back into the original equation (the asterisk stands for multiply):

3 * 1 + 4 = 7

3 * 1 is 3, so:

3 + 4 = 7     which is true.

1 is the only number that works.

Hope this helped.
