Let quarters = q and
Dimes = d

We have 741 coins total so q + d = 741

Since quarters are 25 cents and Dimes are 10 cents then

25q + 10d = 10725 cents

Now we have 2 equations that we can solve using addition or substitution.

Using addition, first multiply the first equation by -10

-10 (q+d) = 741 (-10)
-10q - 10d = -7410

Now add the equations together

(-10q -10d = -7410)
+ (25q + 10d =10725)
________________
15q = 3315
q = 3315 / 15
q = 221
this is the number of quarters

Now plug this back into the original equation

q + d = 741
221 + d = 741
d = 741 - 221
d = 520

There are 520 dimes

Please help me on this!!<br> 5n+17≥n–3≥–15+5n
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

-5 ≤ n ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we solve the equation two at a time;

5n + 17 ≥ n - 3

5n - n ≥ -3 - 17

4n ≥ -20

n ≥ -5

-5 ≤ n

n - 3 ≥ -15 + 5n

n - 5n ≥ -15 + 3

-4n ≥ -12

-n ≥ -3

n ≤ 3

Therefore,

5n+17 ≥ n–3 ≥ –15+5n, becomes

-5 ≤ n ≤ 3

<em>Answer: C</em>

<em />

<em />

<em>It is C because when there is a line at the top of the number, it is infinite and repeats many times. That number in a shorter was can be written as a fraction over 990. Two of the answer choices has 990 in it which is letters B and C. This eliminates answer choices A and D. The number that is within the dot is your numerator (645) and 990 is your denominator. Overall the answer is 645/990</em>
