How did you get A?

well a dime is worth 10 cents so youll take the equation 4x-1 and multiply it all by 10 giving you 40x-10

Answer 6

how many dimes are in 20 cents ...I know I certainly wouldn't multiply by 10 since the answer is 2

Answer 7

Answer 8

divide by 10

4x-1 ?

Answer 10

50 cents ....50/10=5 dimes
70 cents ... 70/10=7 dimes
4x-1 cents ... (4x-1)/10=4/10x-1/10=2/5x-1/10 dimes
