Step-by-step explanation:
So, Dersan's path is a right triangle. You have to find the last side. You can use the triples or 6^2+8^2=c^2 but I'll use a triple.
3,4,5.
The last side is 10.
6+8+10=24
hope this helped!
Answer: 30 pairs of shorts
21x+420=35x
subtract 21x from both sides of the equation.
420=14x
get rid of the x by division
420/14
you get 30 =x
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
