Answer: x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-5) + x = 21 given
2x-5=21 combined like terms
2x=26 addition property of equality
x=13 division property of equality
Answer:
15.7
Step-by-step explanation:
5 x 3.14(pi) = 15.7
Adding both equations cancels y:
<span>4x + 8y = 16
</span><span>4x - 8y = 0
-----------------+
8x = 16 => x=2
filling in x=2 in the first equation gives:
4*2 + 8y = 16 => 8y = 8 => y=1
So (2,1) is the (x,y) pair that solves the two equations. Answer C.</span>
So, what is the case in which he uses the least coins? can he use 1 coin? no, there isn't a 35 cent coin. can he use 2 coins? yes! he can use 25+10 cent coins!
now, the largest number of coins means the coins of the smallest value: so using only 5 cent coins. How many would this be?
we have to divide:
35/5=7
so we would use 7 coins.
And the difference is 5: 7-2 is 5.

The answer is 15*ln(m)-6*ln(n)
