Subtract the 20 they spent on licenses, then divide the remaining $180 by 5.

Each number can be used only once. (and for GH G= a unit number and and H= a unit number so for example 15 would be G=1 H=5) my deductions are as follows I Get that has only 3 possibilities as and I Get that B cant = or , A cant = or I Get that E and F cant be or and cant be or I Get that I cant be any and all help is greatly appreciated Ive been working on this puzzle for 32hrs and seeking help from all you other bright minds.1 solutions Answer 265764 by solver91311(17077) on 2010-11-18 19:05:31 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I had to hammer-hand this one -- basically eliminating everything that was impossible and doing trial and error on what was left. First there is one possibility and one exclusion that you missed. C = 4, D = 2 is possible. G can be no larger than 7 because the largest E * F can be is 72. (Although in the final analysis neither of these facts had any bearing on the results) I started by saying "Let A = 0, then B is 2. Then C can't be 2 or 4 (if 4, D = 2), so if C is 6, D is 3. Then I examined all of the possibilities of E*F given the constraints of neither E nor F nor the resulting GH containing 0, 2, 3, or 6 and E or F not equal to 1. For the very few possibilities I got, I listed A through F against a list of the 10 digits to see if the two remaining unused digits were adjacent (so that I and J could differ by 1). Then I tried A=0, B=2, C=8, D=4. Then A=1, B=3, C=4, D=2 (C=2, D=1 repeats 1), and so on. In point of fact, unless you missed including some criteria that wasn't considered, there are 4 answers. A = 7 B = 9 C = 6 D = 3 E = 5 or 8 F = 8 or 5 G = 4 H = 0 I = 2 J = 1 A = 7 B = 9 C = 8 D = 4 E = 5 or 6 F = 6 or 5 G = 3 H = 0 I = 2 J = 1 There is probably a better way to go about this, and I'm going to chew on it for a couple of days. Write back early next week and I'll let you know if I discovered anything new. Thanks for the interesting challenge.

You didn't bother to state that the bank contained ONLY dimes and quarters, however since without such presumption you can't solve the problem, we proceed on that basis. Let represent the number of dimes. Then must represent the number of quarters. The value of the dimes, in cents, is , the value of the quarters, in cents, is , and the entire value of the bank contents, in cents, is 680. Hence: Solve for to get the number dimes.

It isn't. is simply a binomial expression in one variable. Now if you make it equal to something, such as zero, THEN you have an equation whose graph and/or solution set is a straight line, and in this particular case, a vertical line. The reason it is a vertical line is that the set of points that comprise the solution set of the equation all have an ordinate, or -coordinate, of the value 4. All points with an -coordinate of 4 must lie on a vertical line. Go ahead and try to find a point with an -coordinate of 4 that is NOT on the vertical line .
