Q=quarters, d=dimes


q+d=8
.25q+.1d=1.25

Let's set the first equation to equal d.

d=8-q

.25q+.1(8-q)=1.25

Distribute.

.25q+.8-.1q=1.25

Combine Like Terms

.15q+.8=1.25

Subtract .8

.15q=.45

Divide by .15

q=3

Now, let's solve for d in the first equation.

d+3=8

Subtract 3, and you get d=5

So, there are 5 dimes and 3 quarters in Maribel's pocket.

Check: .25(3)+.1(5)=1.25

.75+.5=1.25
1.25=1.25 which is true.

ACCORDING to the rate of electricity charge, the minimum charge up to 20 unit is Rs 80 and the cost per unit from 21 units to 25
azamat

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = total units of electricity after 250 units

the total units of electricity consumed can be determined using the formula below

80 + 7.3x = 1248

7.3x = 1248 - 80

7.3x = 1168

divide both sides of the equation by 7.3

x = 1168 / 7.3

x = 160

total electricity consumed = 160 + 20 = 180

160

Solve this problem: 3(6 - 8)² + 8÷2<br> A-8<br> B-16<br> C-28<br> Will mark Brainliest!!
marishachu [46]

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation: When you have a set of parentheses in an order of operations problem, you must simplify what's inside that set of parentheses first before you do anything else.

So our first step here is to subtract 6 - 8 which gives us -2.

So in our next step we have 3 (-2)² + 8 ÷ 2.

Now remember to do exponents before you multiply.

So (-2)² is just -2 × -2 or 4.

So in our next step we have 3 x 4 + 8 ÷ 2.

Now, we multiply so we have 3 x 4 which is 12.

So we have 12 + 8 ÷ 2.

Now we can divide.

8 ÷ 2 is 4 so we have 12 + 4 or 16.

So the answer to this problem is 16.
