Answer:

  • 40 quarters and 32 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Quarter = 25 ¢, number of quarters = q
  • Dime = 10 ¢, number of dimes = d
  • Total amount = $13.20 = 1320 ¢

<u>Required equations:</u>

  • q + d = 72
  • 25q + 10d = 1320

<u>Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 10 and subtract from the second equation:</u>

  • 25q + 10d - 10q - 10d = 1320 - 10*72
  • 15q = 600
  • q = 600/15
  • q = 40

<u>Find p:</u>

  • 40 + p = 72
  • p = 72 - 40
  • p = 32

Twice the product of 3and a number exceeds the sum of the number and 80 by 10.what is the number?
Hatshy [7]
First, create an equation with the criteria given.

If we let x be your number,
2(3x) = 80 + x + 10
(2(3x) is twice the product of 3 and x, and if it exceeds x+80 by 10, then we add 10 to x+80 to make the two sides of the equation equal.)

Now, solve for x.

6x=90+x \\ 5x=90 \\ x=18

Complete the sequence.<br><br>37.25​, 35.5​, 33.75​, __, __.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

37.25​, 35.5​, 33.75​, <u>32</u>, <u>30.25</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the first term from the second term:

35.5 - 37.25 = -1.75

Subtract the second term from the third term:

35.5 - 33.75 = -1.75

The common difference is -1.75.

To find each subsequent term, add the common difference to the current term.

33.75 + (-1.75) = 32

32 + (-1.75) = 30.25

Answer:

37.25​, 35.5​, 33.75​, <u>32</u>, <u>30.25</u>.
