D=number of dimes
q=number of quarters
let's count everything in cents
dimes are worth 10 cents
quarters are worth 25 cents
10d+25q=700
divide both sides by 5
2d+5q=140
he has 7 more quarters than dimes
q=7+d
subsitute 7+d for q in other equation
2d+5q=140
2d+5(7+d)=140
2d+35+5d=140
7d+35=140
minus 35 both sides
7d=105
divide both sides by 7
d=15
sub back
q=7+d
q=7+15
q=22
22 quarters and 15 dimes

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 11/12 - 3/8
1. First, we will find a common denomenator. It needs to be the least common factor, or the answer will not be in its simplist form. Let's take a look at the multiples of 12 and 8.
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96
8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72
2. Next, we will choose the smallest common multiple. That would be 24.
3. Now, we will work this out.
11/12 = 22/24
3/8 = 9/24
4. Subtract.
22/24 - 9/24
= 13/24
=
I found the denomenators by multiplying.
Hope this answer helped!
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-12=24
-12 to both sides
3x-12-12=24-12
3x=12
3x/3=12/3x
x=4
