Answer:
x + y = 15
y = 3x + 1.5
x + (3x + 1.5) = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Soft ball practice = x
Soccer practice = y
y = 3x + 1.5
Total practice time :
x + y = 15 - - - (1)
x + 3x + 1.5 = 15
4x + 1.5 = 15
Number of nickels plus number of dimes equals total number of coins
so
n + d = 40
then they tell us that "there are seven times as many dimes as there are nickels"
this translates to
d = 7n
we then plug that into our first equation
and get
n + 7n = 40
then we solve for n
add like terms
8n = 40
then divide both sides by 8
n = 40/8 = 5
therefore Jimmy has 5 nickels
Answer:
Equally likely

Hope this is right!
DE + EF = DF
x - 2 + 6x + 4 = 8x - 2
7x + 2 = 8x - 2
2 + 2 = 8x - 7x
4 = x <===
