Answer:

Let x be the number of dimes and y the number of quarters

x +y = 100

a dime is $0.10 and a quarter is $0.25

0.1x + 0.25y = 21.40 multiply by 100 to remove the decimals

10x + 25y = 2140, From the first equation y = 100 - x and plug it in to the second equation.

10x + 25(100 -x) = 2140

10x + 2500 - 25x =2140

2500 - 15x = 2140

360 = 15x x = 24 and y = 76

There are 24 dimes and 76 quarters

Answer:

76 Quarters = $19.00

24 Dimes = $2.40

$19.00 + $2.40 = $21.40

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}$

both zeros are irrational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

$\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}$
