So, you have to have your equation in terms of dimes. What you said about what he has: four more nickels than dimes in his pocket. Will help with our equation.
We know what a nickel and dime is worth. A nickel is .05 and a dime is .1
We don't know how many dimes are in his pocket, since we're trying to solve it.
.1x+(4+x).05=1.25;
In the parenthesis, it shows how there are four more nickels. Let's solve it now.
.1x + (4+x).05=1.25
.1x + .2+ .05x = 1.25; Let's add like terms.
.15x + .2 = 1.25; Subtract .2 from both sides.
.15x= 1.05
1.05÷.15= 7 =x
There are 7 dimes in his pocket, let's check our answer.
We now know there are 11 nickels, since there are four more nickels than dimes.
11(.05) +.1(7) = 1.25
.55+ .7 = 1.25
Now that we've tried it, we know there are 7 dimes in his pocket.
Tell me if this helps!
This should be correct I am sorry if it is not.

Answer:
-42
Step-by-step explanation:
-2y = 46
y = 46/ -2
y = -23
Substitute y in y = 4x-11
-23 = 4x -11
-23+11 =4x
-12 = 4x
x = -12/4
x = -3
Now plug in x value in 14x
14(-3) = -42
To do this, we first want to see how many participants there are in total by adding both males and females.
Now we know that there were 220 total participants, but only 121 were females.
This allows us to set up the fraction 121/220= the percent female.
or 55%
Given:
Number of males = h
Number of females = (h-2)
Total number of visitors = 80
To find:
The value of h.
Solution:
We have,
Number of males = h
Number of females = (h-2)
So, the total number of visitors is:
It is given that the total number of visitors is 80. So,
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
