Using the least number of coins how many quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies to make $1.74

Let's use our largest amount (quarter) to see how many can fit evenly into 1.74.

---Multiply $0.25 by 6 = $1.50

---Subtract $1.50 from $1.74 = $0.24

---We need to use the rest of the coins to fill up $0.24.

Now let's use our second largest amount (dime) to see how many can fit evenly into 0.24.

---Multiply $0.10 by 2 = $0.20

---Subtract $0.20 from $0.24 = $0.04

No nickels can fit into $0.04, because they are worth $0.05.

We can use our least amount (pennies) to fill in the $0.04 remaining.

Your answer is 6 quarters, 2 dimes, and 4 pennies.

goog may be able to you find that answer

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
