5x + 15 = 0 ...subtract 15 from both sides (subtraction property of equality)
5x = -15 ...divide both sides by 5 (division property of equality)
x = -15/5
x = -3
Answer:
The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q and d represent the number of quarters and of dimes respectively.
Then q + d = 11 (Equation A), and ($0.25/quarter)q + ($0.10/dime)d = $1.85 (Equation B).
Multiply the 2nd equation by 100 to remove the decimal fractions:
25q + 10d = 185 (Equation C)
Now multiply the 1st equation by -10 to obtain -10q - 10d = -110 (Equation D), and combine this result with Equation C:
-10q - 10d = -110
25q + 10d = 185
--------------------------
15q = 75, and so q = 75/15 = 5.
According to Equation A, q + d = 11. Replacing q with 5, we get:
5 + d = 11, and so d = 6.
The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.
It would be 56° since a triangle is a 190° shape
The slope would be 4.33. He sells 13 cars in 3 months, 13/3=4.33 cars each month. While you can't sell 4.33, remember that this is just the slope. The equation would be apprx y=4.33(x)
Answer:
y=10 ( number of acrobat)
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the elephant and y the acrobat
elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2
4x+2y=40
x+y=15 ⇒x=15-y
substitute for x in the equation:
4(15-y)+2y=40
60-4y+2y=40
-2y=40-60
y=-20/-2
y=10 ( number of acrobat)
number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants
