You have 14 coins that are nickles and quarters that equals 2 dollars how do you solve using substitution?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The question is incorrect but if half nickels and quarters exist then you could say the answer is 7.5 nickels and 6.5 quarters.

The problem:

14 coins that are either nickels are quarters

The total dollar amount of these coins is 2 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of nickels.

Let q be the number of quarters.

We are given that n+q=14 and that .05n+.25q=2.

I'm going to choose to solve the system by elimination.

Multiplying the first equation by .25 gives:

.25n+.25q=.25(14)

.25n+.25q=3.5

So let's line the equations up now:

.25n+.25q=3.5

.05n+.25q=2

---------------------If we subtract the equations, the variable q will be eliminated. Thus, we will able to solve for the variable n.

.20n+0q=1.5

.20n=1.5

Dividing both sides by .2 gives:

n=7.5

If n=7.5 and n+q=14, then we have 7.5+q=14 by substitution property.

We can subtract 7.5 on both sides giving us:

q=14-7.5=6.5

We cannot have 7.5 nickels and 6.5 quarters but this satisfies the given information.

Check:

7.5+6.5=(7+6)+(.5+.5)=13+1=14

7.5(.05)+6.5(.25)=2

Now, the requested way which is by substitution:

Let n be the number of nickels.

Let q be the number of quarters.

We are given that n+q=14 and that .05n+.25q=2.

We can solve the first equation for either n or q and then substitute that into the other equation allowing us to solve for the other variable.

Let's solve for q by subtraction n on both sides:

q=14-n

We are going to replace q in the second equation with (14-n) giving us:

.05n+.25(14-n)=2

Distribute:

.05n+3.5-.25n=2

Combine like terms:

-0.2n+3.5=2

Subtract 3.5 on both sides:

-0.2n=-1.5

Divide both sides by -0.2:

n=7.5

Since q=14-n and n=7.5, then q=14-7.5=6.5 .

We are already check the solution above.

Aaron uses the equation y=500+0.2x to determine his weekly paycheck based on his sales volume, where y represents the amount of

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

1050 units

Explanations:

Given the equation y=500+0.2x to determine his weekly paycheck based on his sales volume, where:

y is the amount of his check

x is the number of units he sells each month.

In order to determine the amount of units he would need to sell for his paycheck to be $710, we willl substitute y = 710 into the equation and find the value of x as shown:

y=500+0.2x

710 = 500+0.2x

710-500 = 0.2x

210 = 0.2x

0.2x = 210

Divide both sides by 0.2

0.2x/0.2 = 210/0.2

x = 1050

Hence he would need 1,050 units to sell for his paycheck to be $710

A machine at a bottling company fills water bottles. the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the mach

Whitepunk [10]

In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

$\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ \end{gathered}$

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Tuesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Wednesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}$

Thursday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}$

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.
