7. Another money problem!
n-# of nickels
q-# of quarters
n=3+q
0.05n+0.25q=2.85
Substitution works like a charm!
0.05(3+q)+0.25q=2.85
0.15+0.05q+0.25q=2.85
0.3q=2.7
q=9
n=3+q
n=3+9
n=12
answer: 9 nickels and 12 quarters
8. One variable situation again.
Ann's money-2b+9
Betty's money-b
b+2b+9=60
3b=51
b=17
2b+9=43
answer: Ann has $43 and Betty has $17.
9. # of red m&m's-x+1

10. a-number of adult tickets
s-number of student tickets
a+s=785 ----> a=785-s
5a+2s=3280
5(785-s)+2s=3280
-3s=-645
s=215
a+s=785
a+215=785
a=570
answer: 215 children tickets and 570 adult tickets
Since it says m1 is 120 and it says find m3 don’t you need to multiply or I’m wrong
Answer: 1/25 or 0.04
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 divided by 5 for the whole number you have to turn it to a fraction so you would do 5/1
THEN: it becomes 1/5 divided by 5/1 but you have to do the inverse so the inverse of division is multiplying and you will cross multiply so 5*5= 25 and 1*1=1 therefor the final answer is 1/25
