Answer 5

HI!!

Answer 6

hi

Answer 7

lets call \(x\) the amount of $5 deposits ok?

Answer 8

k

Answer 9

then since the total is 14, the amount of $3.50 deposits is \(14-x\)

Answer 10

we have
\[5x+3.50(14-x)\] as the total amount of money so we can solve
\[5x+3.50(14-x)=59.50\]

Answer 11

are you doing the total? not each one separate into 59.50?

Answer 12

may be easier if we multiply both sides by ten and solve \[50x+35(14-x)=595\]

Answer 13

multiply out and combine like terms on the left to get \[50x+490-35x=595\] or
\[15x+490=595\]

Answer 14

subtract 490 from both sides, then divide by 15 to get your answer !!

Answer 15

x=7
