Answer:
There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes).
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is 2:14. But this does not tell us how many dimes nor how many quarters we have. Instead, it's a ratio. Modify this by multiplying numerator and denominator by n and then find n:
Number of dimes 2n
----------------------------- = -----
Number of quarters 14n
Then the total number of coins is 2n + 14n =48, implying that:
16n = 48, or n = 3.
Then the number of dimes is 2(n) = 2(3) = 6, and that of quarters is 14(n) =
14(3) = 42.
There are 42 quarters (and 6 dimes). Notice how the total of 42 and 6 is 48.
Answer: (7,5) X=7 and Y=5
Explanation:
Add the two equations together to eliminate y from the system.
x-y=2 + x+y=12
= 2x = 14
Divide both sides by 2
x=7
Substitute the value found for x into one of the original equations to solve for y
(7)-y=2
Move all terms to one side to make it easier
-y=2-7
Subtract
y=5
1.5x + 2.5x = 240
4x 240
x = 240/4
x = 60
+ 19 on both sides, -19 becomes 0, 1 becomes 20 x=20
31 I think I’m not sure may be wrong
