Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:
0.05<em>n</em> + 0.10<em>d</em> = 1.50
==> 5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em> = 150
Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:
<em>n</em> + <em>d</em> = 21
==> -5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em> = -105
Add the two equations together:
(5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em>) + (-5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 + (-105)
Notice that the terms containing <em>n</em> get eliminated and we can solve for <em>d</em> :
(5<em>n</em> - 5<em>n</em>) + (10<em>d</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 - 105
5<em>d</em> = 45
<em>d</em> = 45/5 = 9
Plug this into either original equation to solve for <em>n</em>. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:
<em>n</em> + 9 = 21
<em>n</em> = 21 - 9 = 12
So Donna used 12 nickels and 9 dimes.
3/8 greatest common factor is 2
Answer:
A overly complicated triangle.
Step-by-step explanation: Good luck...
10% is $8.00 so 20% is $16 and 80-16= 64 so the sale cost is $64.00
Answer:
She made 12 two point basket.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the number of 2 point basket is x and that of 3 point basket is y.
Based on the question the total numbers of basket is 14, that is x + y = 14 , and the total numbers of points is 30, which helps us with our second equation 2(x) +3(y)=30.
x + y = 14 eqn 1
2(x) +3(y)=30 eqn 2
Using elimination method multiplying eqn 1 by -3 and adding it to equation 2
-3x-3 y = -42 adding to eqn 2 gives
-x= -12
x=12. Which gives the number of the 2 points basket she made .
