Lesson 17-3
The Elimination Method
1. Phuong has $2.00 in nickels and dimes in his bank. The number of
dimes is five more than twice the number of nickels. How many of
each type of coin are in his bank?
Example B
mistry class. One

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)

b. 18

step-by-step explanation:

so the equation for this is:

ab^2=ac⋅ad

ab being the top length of 6 and ac being the length of 2 and ad being the length of x. let's plug into the equation:

6^2 = 2x

now lets just solve for x:

36 = 2x

18 = x

i hope that !
