For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of quarters
y: number of nickels
We now write the system of equations:
x + y = 68
0.25x + 0.05y = 13.40
Solving the system we have:
x = 50
y = 18
Answer:
they have:
quarters = 50
nickels = 18
We can find a and b using inverse trig functions,


Hope this helps.
0.50x-6=4
move -6 to the other side
sign changes from -6 to 6
0.50x-6+6= 4+6
0.50x= 10
divide by 0.50 for both sides
0.50/0.50x= 10/0.50
x= 20
Answer: x= 20
Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
<span><span><span>10x</span>+18</span><<span>−2
</span></span>Step 1: Subtract 18 from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>10x</span>+18</span>−18</span><<span><span>−2</span>−18
</span></span><span><span>10x</span><<span>−20
</span></span>Step 2: Divide both sides by 10.
<span><span><span>10x/</span>10</span><<span><span>−20/</span>10
</span></span><span>x<<span>−2
</span></span>Answer:
<span>x<<span>−<span>2</span></span></span>
