Algebra.Com's Answer #638218 by addingup(3677) You can put this solution on YOUR website! q+d = 13 subtract q from both sides: \n" ); document.write( "d = 13-q We'll use this value for d next \n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n" ); document.write( "0.25q+0.10d = 2.05 substitute for d \n" ); document.write( "0.25q+0.10(13-q) = 2.05 Multiply \n" ); document.write( "0.25q+1.30-0.10q = 2.05 Subtract q on left and subtract 1.30 on both sides \n" ); document.write( "0.15q = 0.75 divide both sides by 0.15 \n" ); document.write( "q = 5 you have 5 quarters and we said that: \n" ); document.write( "d = 13-q = 13-5 = 8 dimes \n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n" ); document.write( "Check: \n" ); document.write( "0.25(5)+0.10(8) = 2.05 \n" ); document.write( "1.25+0.80 = 2.05 Add on left and you'll see we have the correct answer. \n" ); document.write( "J \n" ); document.write( " |
