A collection of dimes and nickels is worth 3.30. if there are 42 coins in total how many of each kind of coin are there?

1 nickels =$0.05

1 dime= $0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 nickels =$0.05

1 dime= $0.1

let the number of nickels be x and that of dimes be y.

total number of coins is given by:

x+y=42

hence:

y=42-xi

total amount of cash will be:

0.05x+0.1y=3.30ii

substituting i in ii we get:

0.05x+0.1(42-x)=3.30

0.05x+4.2-0.1x=3.3

-0.05x=-0.9

x=-0.9/(-0.05)

x=18

hence the the number nickels is x=18, the number of dimes will be y=42-x=42-18=24

you have 6 cupcakes

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
