:Di need help on these two questions, can somebody help me?
1.) A change purse contains 20 coins consisting of nickels and dimes and having a total value of $1.40. How many nickels are there?
2.) Use absolute value and the variable x to write an open sentence that specifies numbers on a number line whose distance3 from -2 is at least 3.
please help, i would be more than happy if you give me the answer with the steps. I need to show my work.
Let N = the number of nickles. Then 20-N = the number of dimes.
.05N + .10 (20-N) = 1.40 (5 cents * the number of nickles plus 10 cents * the number of dimes)
.05N + 2.0 -.10N = 1.40
.60 = .05N
N = 12
Therefore you have 12 nickles (60 cents) and 8 dimes (80 cents).

3 is less than the absolute value of the sum of x and 2.
