Answer:

<u>13 Quarters and 18 Dimes</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D and Q stand for the numbers of Dimes(D) and Quarters(Q).  Give x and y a break, and make it easier to remember which is which.

D + Q = 31

D = Q + 5

Therefore:

D + Q = 31

(Q+5) + Q = 31

2Q + 5 = 31

2Q = 26

<u>Q = 13</u>

<u>Then D = (13+5) or 18</u>

================

Check:

D + Q = 31 ?

18 + 13 = 31  <u>YES</u>

----------------------

D = Q + 5 ?

18 = 13 + 5   <u>YES</u>

Can you help me solve for x?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

10x-10 = 60 +4x+2

Combine like terms

10x-10 = 62+4x

Subtract 4x from each side

10x-4x -10 = 62 +4x-4x

6x -10 = 62

Add 10 to each side

6x-10+10 = 62+10

6x= 72

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12
