Answer:

  There are 2 nickels and 6 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels:  x

 Dimes:  y

Constraints:

  0.05x + 0.10y = 0.70

   x + y = 8                   ===>  -0.05 * (x + y = 8)  ===>   -0.05x - 0.05y = -0.4

Add the two equations to eliminate x variable:

  0.05x + 0.10y = 0.70

 -0.05x - 0.05y = -0.4

_________________

                0.05y = 0.3         ===>    y = 6

Substitution to find x:

  x + y = 8

  x + 6 = 8

  x = 2

There are 2 nickels and 6 dimes.

For what values of x is x2+2x=24 true?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

x=-6 and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We must solve the quadratic equation to find the values of x that satisfy equality

x^2+2x=24

Subtract 24 on both sides of equality

x^2+2x-24=24-24

x^2+2x-24=0

Now we factor the quadratic equation

Identify two numbers that when you add them you get as a result 2 and when you multiply them you get as a result -24

The numbers sought are: 6 and -4

So the factors are:

(x+6)(x-4)=0

Finally note that the solutions are:

x=-6 and x=4

A store has a pair of boots that originally cost $56 marked down 25%. How much will the boots cost on sale?
Sav [38]
25% of $56 is $14.00.
(0.25)(56) = 14

Subtract $14.00 from $56 = $42.00.
56 - 14 = 42

The boots will cost $42 on sale.

4(3x+2)-2 <br> find x show how you did it
olganol [36]

Answer:

Multiply 4 to the terms inside the parentheses.

(12x+8)-2

Remove the parentheses and equate it to zero.

12x+8-2 = 0

Simplify

12x+6 = 0

Transpose 6 to the other side.

12x = -6

Divide bith sides by 12.

12x/12 = -6/12

Simplify.

x = -6/12 or -½
