x - y = 14
given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3
then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as
5x + 3x = 56
8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7
Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21
Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14
To find out, we solve the system of equations.
n + q = 52
n = -q + 52
Plug in -q + 52 for 'n' in the 2nd equation:
0.05(-q + 52) + 0.25q = 8
Distribute 0.05:
-0.05q + 2.6 + 0.25q = 8
Combine like terms:
0.2q + 2.6 = 8
Subtract 2.6 to both sides:
0.2q = 5.4
Divide 0.2 to both sides:
q = 27
Now plug this into any of the two equations to find 'n':
n + q = 52
n + 27 = 52
Subtract 27 to both sides:
n = 25
So Alexis had 27 quarters and 25 nickels.
Answer:
13yards
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/3)=0.66667=x/y
x+y=60
x=60-y
(60/y)-1=2/3
60/y=5/3
y=36
x+36=60
x=24
24:36
