Answer: 10 dimes

Solve using system of equations.
q=number of quarters and d=number of dimes
.25q+.10d=5.50 because the total of dimes and quarters is $5.50
8+d=q because there are 8 more quarters than dimes
substitute 8+d for q into the first equation to get .25(8+d)+.10d=5.50
then simplify
2+.35d=5.50
.35d=3.50
d=10 he has 10 dimes

15%  x
100  1.15        X is your variable, your unknown number and 15% has to always be over 100 , Then you have to cross multiply and divide 100 because that is the only number basically you have to just multiply across and divide 100 to make it to the nearest cent you have to round the last two numbers after the decimal Representing money..

Please help!!! I’m so confused on how to solve this!
-Dominant- [34]

Let's first write the equation given

x²+6x-13=0

They have told us to use "Completing the square" method.

So we need write x²+6x-13 as a whole square.

x²+6x-13=0

x²+(2*3*x)-9-4 = 0

x²+(2*3*x)-3²=4

Now we can write the LHS as:

(x - 3)²=2²

Hence,

x-3 can either be 2 or -2

Now,

x - 3=2

x=5

Or,

x - 3=-2

x=1

Therefore now we know that x can either be 1 or  5. So the correct answer is  Option B.
