Answer:

10c = 20

5c = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 10c coins; let y be the number of 5c coins. The total is $2.25, so the amount of 10c and 5c coins will add to that. Simita has 25 coins, so x and y, the number of coins, will have to add to 25. Hence, solve the simultaneous equation.

10x + 5y = 225 (1) - times by 0

x + y = 25 (2) - times by 5

10x + 5y = 225 (1)

5x + 5y = 125 (2)

Then, take equation 2 away from equation 1.

5x = 100

x = 20

Substitute x back into the original equation.

x + y = 25

20 + y = 25

y = 5

The product of 7 and a number is 126. Find the number

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Product of 7 and a number is 126.

Let's form the equation,

→ 7 × x = 126

The required value of x will be,

→ 7 × x = 126

→ x = 126/7

→ [ x = 18 ]

Hence, the number is 18.

Answer:

(a) Rule: Multiply the input (x) by 2 and add 5 to the result of the product

(b) $y =2x +5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Solving (a): The rule of the table in words

First, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Using:

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,9)$

$(x_1,y_1) = (10,25)$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{25 - 9}{10 - 2}$

$m = \frac{16}{8}$

$m=2$

The equation is calculated using:

$y - y_1 =m(x - x_1)$

Using:

$(x_1,y_1) = (6,17)$

We have:

$y - 17 =2(x - 6)$

$y - 17 =2x - 12$

Make y the subject

$y =2x - 12+17$

$y =2x +5$

Hence, the rule is:

Multiply the input (x) by 2 and add 5 to the result of the product

(b): The rule, in algebra

As solved in (a), the rule is:

$y =2x +5$
