Given:

The change all in nickels and pennies.

Let the number of nickels = x

Let the number of pennies = y

Total coins = 31

so, x + y = 31

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 penny = 1 cent

The change = $0.87 = 87 cents

so, 5x + y = 87

so, we have the following system of equations:

\begin{gathered} x+y=31\rightarrow(1)\times-1 \\ 5x+y=87\rightarrow(2) \\ ------------- \\ (5x-x)+(y-y)=87-31 \\  \\ 4x=56 \\  \\ x=\frac{56}{4}=14 \\  \\ y=31-14=17 \end{gathered}

So, the number of nickels = x = 14

And the number of pennies = y = 17

Mr. Fishie bought a tank for $15 and 10 fish which cost $f each. If he gave the cashier two 20-dollar bills, what was his change
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

$25 - $10f

Step-by-step explanation:

Fishie's name is fishy.  

We know Mr. Fishie spent $15 on a tank.  His 10 fish cost 10*$f.  His total is:

Total =15 + 10*f

His change after 2 $20 would be:

$40 - ($15 - $10f), or

$25 - $10f

adelina 88 [10]

To solve this problem you must use the information given in the problem above:

1. You have that he jogs 0.7miles to the park and then 0.5miles to the playground, then he jogs 0.3 miles to the bridge and 0.9miles to his house.

2. Therefore, as you can see, Jerry completes his jog when he arrives to his house. So, he is 0miles from his house.

Then, the answer is: 0miles

If f(×) = 3x + 7, which of these is the inverse of f(x)?​
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

First equate 3x + 7 to any unknown

3x + 7 = P

Then make x the subject of the formula

3x + 7 = P

3x + 7-7= P-7

3x = P-7

3x ÷ 3 = (P-7) ÷ 3

x = (P-7) ÷3

Then interchange x with the unknown which I have as P

x = (P-7) ÷ 3

P = (x-7) ÷ 3

Then inverse of f(x)

is;

f-1(x) = (x-7) ÷ 3

Thank you.
