Which of the following systems of equations gives the number of quarters, q, and the number of dollar coins, d? A. d + q = 250 and 100d + 25q = 137.50 B. d + q = 250 and 0.1d + 0.25q = 137.50 C. d + q = 250 and d + 0.25q = 137.50 D. d + q = 137.50 and d + 0.25q = 250 E. d + q = 137.50 and 100d + 25q = 250 Question 2 of 3 For two consecutive integers, the result of adding double the smaller integer and triple the larger integer is 153.

Cherish · Answer 1

(1)

C

d + q = 250 (total number of coins) and

d + 0.25q = 137.50 (total value of coins)

(2)

G

consecutive integers have a difference of 1 between them

let the integers be n and n + 1 then

2n + 3 (n + 1) = 153 (distribute and simplify)

2n + 3n + 3 = 153

5n + 3 = 153 (subtract 3 from both sides)

5n = 150 (divide both sides by 5)

n = 30 and n + 1 = 31

the 2 consecutive integers are 30 and 31

(3)

E

let x be the shortest side then longest side = 2x and middle side = x + 4

2x + x + 4 + x = 52

4x + 4 = 52 (subtract 4 from both sides)

4x = 48 (divide both sides by 4)

x = 12

the longest side = 2x = 2 * 12 = 24
