Answer:

Somewhere between 12 and 13, perhaps 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a (rather) simple explanation:

Look for 2 square numbers that are either side of 150

In this case, it is 144 and 169

The square root of 144 is 12 and the square root of 169 is 13

Therefore we can estimate that the square root of 150 is somewhere between 12 and 13.

As 150 is a lot closer to 144 to 169, I would estimate around 12.25 but you do not need an exact value :)

A collection of five coins has a value of $1 and consists of dimes and

DENIUS [597]

For this case we propose a system of equations. We have to:

x: Let the variable that represents the number of dimes

y: Let the variable that represents the number of quaters

We know that:

One dime equals 10 cents, $0.10

A quater equals 0.25 cents, $0.25

According to the statement we have:

$x + y = 5\\0.10x + 0.25y = 1$

We multiply the first equation by -0.10:

$-0.10x-0.10y = -0.5$

We have the following equivalent system:

$-0.10x-0.10y = -0.5\\0.10x + 0.25y = 1$

We add the equations:

$-0.10x + 0.10x-010y + 0.25y = -0.5 + 1\\0.15y = 0.5\\y = \frac {0.5}{0.15}\\y = 3.33$

Approximately 3 quater coins

$x = 5-y = 5-3 = 2$

And two dimes

Answer:

3 quater

2 dimes

Are the ratios equivalent and how

Hitman42 [59]

The ratios are equivalent because you multiplied 18:4 by 2&3. And also you divided it by 2. I had the same homework!

Answer: It should be -(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason is this right here

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y1 = 4

x1 = 2

m = -1

y - 4 = -(x - 2)
