If there are 12 coins under the couch and every coin is either a nickel or a penny and together they are forming 32 cents then the equations which represent the problem will be x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32. The correct option is B which is x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Given There are 12 coins and total money is 32 cents.

Let the number of pennies be x and the number of  nickels be y.

According to question there are 12 coins so the first equation becomes:

x+y=12.

Then we have been told that together they amount to 32 cents.

We know that 1 penny is 1 cent coin and 1 nickel is 5 cent coin so the equation becomes :

1*x+5*x=32

x+5y=32

converting into dollar

0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Hence the right equations showing the problem of nickel and pennies are x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Question
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

  The equations of the lines are y=3 and y=8.

  Parallel lines have equal slopes, so if the slopes are opposites, the slopes must be 0.

  A line with this slope and passing through (7, 3) has equation y=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above answer statements pretty much speak for themselves. The only opposite numbers that are equal are 0 and -0 = 0, so the slopes must be 0.

A line with a zero slope has a constant y-value, so is of the form ...

  y = constant

If it goes through a point with a y-coordinate of 3, then the constant must be 3. The line is ...

  y = 3

___

If the sum of two numbers is 11 and one of them is 3, the other is 8. So, the parallel line has equation y = 8.

A box office sells 12,000 tickets in 10 days for a music concert. It sells 3,483 tickets the first day and 2,901 tickets the sec
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: 702 tickets each day


Step-by-step explanation:

First, we do 12,000 minus 3,483 and 2,901. We get 5,616. Since there are still 8 days left, we divide 5,616/8, and that gives us 702.
