Kendra has $6.00 in dimes and quarters. If she has 2 times as many quarters as dimes, how many of each coin does she have?

Make a system of equations.

$\sf0.10d+0.25q=6$
$\sf~q = 2d$

Plug in 2d for 'q' in the first equation:

$\sf0.10d+0.25q=6$

$\sf0.10d+0.25(2d)=6$

Multiply:

$\sf0.10d+0.50d=6$

Combine like terms:

$\sf0.60d=6$

Divide 0.60 to both sides:

$\sf~d=10$

Now plug this into any of the two equations to find 'q':

$\sf~q = 2d$

$\sf~q = 2(10)$

$\sf~q = 20$

So she has 10 dimes and 20 quarters.

Anybody good in pre Calculus and know how to do #3 or #4?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

3. 0

4. n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

I haven't taken pre-calc but this looks a lot like algebra.

For #3, just plug in -2 for the x values, so:

x^2 + 4x +4

(-2)^2 + 4(-2) + 4

= 4 - 8 + 4

= 0

For #4, move the variables to one side and solve( im not sure what the pi is for tho, or is that a n?):

5n + 6 = -3n - 10

add 3n to both sides

8n + 6 = -10

subtract 6 from both sides

8n = -16

divide both sides by 8

n = -2
