Question

Algebra help( I think it's systems of equations, please help) WILL give TONS of medal! =D

Answer 1

Algebra: Taylor has a total of 43 quarters and nickels in her pocket. if her change is worth $7.75, how many nickels does Taylor have?

Answer 2

C'mon people please help ;'(

Answer 3

I'll try my best! this is algebra?

Answer 4

Yes :)

Answer 5

1 or 2?

Answer 6

2

Answer 7

I thin it has something to do with systems of equations (which is in algebra 1 too)

Answer 8

Okay I'll try since I'm only in Geometry

Answer 9

Let Q = the number of quarters Taylor has
Let N = the number of nickels Taylor has

Each quarter has cash value of .25*Q dollars
Each nickel has cash value of .05*N dollars

So,

Q + N = 43
.25Q + .05N = 7.75

Okay, that is the system of equations to solve.

Answer 10

Alright so I use the elimination p

Answer 11

Oh that's what I did before but instead of 0.25 i put 25( as a whole, not a cent) lol

Answer 12

Thank you ♥

Answer 13

Yes, I would also multiply the second equation through by 100 to clear the decimals.

Q + N = 43
.25Q + .05N = 7.75

to this:

Q + N = 43
25Q + 5N = 775

Answer 14

Then I multiply -5 to the first equation?
