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.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = 14 - x

chance the equation around so it is solvable

14 - x = 6

14 - 6 = x

now solve

14 - 6 = 8

that means x equals 8 so

6 = 14 - 8

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 5 5 + 3 5 = 55+35=
vodomira [7]

Answer:

5(11+7) = 55+35

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that when multiplying a term with a sum multiply into each term within the sum. Here you have a sum. You’ll reverse the distributive property by factoring our a term which could multiply into each. 55 and 35 both have 5 as a factor. This makes the expression 5(11+7) = 55+35.
