Step-by-step explanation:
+4 on both sides
-17 both sides
Divide by 20 both sides.
Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10x + 25y = 370
y = x + 5
10x+25(x+5)=370
10x+25x+125=370
35x=370-125
x=245/35
x=7 which is the number of dimes
x+7= 7+5= 12 which is the number of quarters
So you have 12 quarters. That means you have 7 dimes.
