A jar contains nickels and dimes. There are 20 coins in the jar, and the total value of the coins is $1.40. How many nickels and how many dimes are in the jar.
Write the system of equations used to solve this problem. Define the variables.
(Hurry)

Step-by-step explanation:

n and d are the number of nickels and dimes, respectively.

"there are 20 coins"

n+d = 20

d = 20-n

"total value is $1.40"

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.40

0.05n + 0.10(20-n) = 1.40

-0.05n + 2 = 1.40

0.05n = 0.6

n = 12

d = 20-m = 8

step-by-step explanation:

this woman was an important writer and propagandist during the american revolution. she was a member of the committee of correspondence (in fact the committee was formed in her home) and was an advisor to many of the revolutionary leaders, including george washington and john adams. who was this revolutionary woman?

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
