Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
that puts the solution in the form ...
variable is ...
Step-by-step explanation:
It isn't always.
__
Often, we like to have a solution be in the form ...
variable is ...
So, for an inequality, that puts the variable on the left:
x > 3
y < 27
__
Personally, I like to see the answer in a form that has the variable and its values in the same relation as on a number line. This means, my preferred inequality symbols are < or ≤, since those have the smaller numbers on the left. I would write the first example above as ...
3 < x
showing that the shaded portion of the number line (representing possible values of the variable) is to the right of the open circle at 3. For me, it is more mental effort to translate x > 3 to the same image.

The forms we choose to use are all about making communication as easy as possible.
45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "n" be the number of nickels
Let "d" be the number of dimes
We know that,
value of 1 nickel = $ 0.05
value of 1 dime = $ 0.10
<em><u>Given that There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dimes</u></em>
Number of nickels = 3 + 2(number of dimes)
n = 3 + 2d ---- eqn 1
<em><u>Also given that coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15</u></em>
number of nickels x value of 1 nickel + number of dimes x value of 1 dime = 9.15

0.05n + 0.10d = 9.15 ---- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
0.05(3 + 2d) + 0.10d = 9.15
0.15 + 0.1d + 0.10d = 9.15
0.2d = 9
<h3>d = 45</h3>
From eqn 1
n = 3 + 2(45)
n = 3 + 90 = 93
<h3>n = 93</h3>
Thus 45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank
It could be 20 times or 25 times
He uses 15 gallons. Because 270/6 = 45. Meaning he drives 45 miles per gallon. So 675/45=15. 15 gallons he will need to use to drive 675 miles.
