Answer:
$3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
dimes= x
quarters= x+2
nickels= 2x+2
sum is 3.75
.10x+.25(x+2)+0.05(2x+2)=3.75
.10x+.25x+.50+0.10x+0.10=3.75
0.45x=3.15
x=7 dimes (0.70)
x+2=9 quarters (2.25)
2x+2=16 nickels (0.80)
They add to $3.75
Let dimes = d and quarters =q
D + q = 50
D= 50-q
0.10d + 0.25Q = 7.70
Replace d with 50-q:
0.10(50-q) + 0.25q = 7.70
Simplify:
5 -0.10q + 0.25q = 7.70
5 + 0.15q = 7.70
Subtract 5 from both sides:
0.15q = 2.70
Divide both sides by 0.15:
Q = 2.70 / 0.15
Q = 18
D = 50-18 = 32
There are 32 dimes and 18 quarters
Answer:
11a. 15x + 6
11b. x + 8 < 16 or x + 8 - 16
12. 3x + 15 + 5x = 8x + 15
13. 7x + 31
