Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3=8/x+6
Using cross products
2 * (x+6) = 3*8
2(x+6) = 24
Divide by 2
x+6 =12
Subtract 6
x = 6
to solve for j first you need to cross multiply;
j × 35 = 42 × 55
35j = 2,310
j = 2,310 ÷ 35 (did the inverse operation)
j = 66
Hope that helps :D
Answer:
Dimes = x = 52
Nickels = y = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Dimes = x
Nickels = y
x + y = 91 (1)
0.10x + 0.05y = 7.15 (2)
From (1)
x = 91 - y
Substitute x = 91 - y into (2)
0.10x + 0.05y = 7.15
0.10(91 - y) + 0.05y = 7.15
9.10 - 0.10y + 0.05y = 7.15
- 0.10y + 0.05y = 7.15 - 9.10
-0.05y = -1.95
y = -1.95 / 0.05
= 39
Substitute y = 39 into (1)
x + y = 91
x + 39 = 91
x = 91 - 39
x = 52
Dimes = x = 52
Nickels = y = 39
