For this case we have the following variables:
x: number of nickels
y: number of dimes
z: number of quarters
We now write the system of equations that models the problem:
Rewriting the equations as a function of z we have:
From here, we clear the value of z:
Answer:
The number of quarters that Rachna has is:
B. 11
Answer: the number of cephalopods in her seashells collection is 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Maria has a collection of 64 seashells consisting of three types bivalves,gastropods,and cephalopods. If 1/4 of her collection are bivalves, it means that the number of bivalves that she has is
1/4 × 64 = 14
If 3/8 of her collection are gastropods, it means that the number of gastropods in her collection is
3/8 × 64 = 24
Therefore, the number of cephalopods in her seashells collection is
64 - (14 + 24) = 26
a. 7a-2b = 5a+b
Answer: The required value of a is
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for variable a :
To solve the above equation for a, we need to take terms involving a on one side of equality that that involving b on the other side.
So, from equation (i), we get
Thus, the required value of a is
