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.

Answer:
<u>9 mph</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Calvin's first leg of the trip took 0.5 hr (30 minutes) at 6 mph. That means he travelled (0.5hr x 6 mph =) 3 miles. He travelled 3 miles on the return trip, by definition (same path home). At 18 mph, 3 miles would take (3 miles/18 mph =) 0.1667 hours. That makes a total of 6 miles and (0.5 + 0.1667=) 0.6667 hours.
(6 miles)/(0.6667 hours) = 9 mph is Calvin's average speed for the round trip.
X = 29 and y = 101.
To find this, you need to set up an equation.
6x - 95 = 79. Once you solve this, x would equal 29.
Since 6x - 95 and y are on a straight line, they would have to equal 180. So you make another equation except you plug in 29 for x this time.
6(29) - 95 + y = 180. Once you solve this, y would equal 101.
