Answer:

64 nickels and 24 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x nickels and y dimes

The number of nickels is 8 less than 3 times the dimes

i.e. x = 3y-8

Value of the coins = 5x+10y

= 560 cents (given)

Substitute x value in the second equation

5(3y-8)+10y = 560\\25y = 600\\y =24\\

Substitute in

x = 3y-8\\=64

There are 64 nickels and 24 dimes.

True [87]
Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money

we now that

<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1

and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2

</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks

the answer is 
4 weeks

Given a situation involving a dilation, how do you determine the scale factor.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor can be found by dividing two corresponding side lengths. For instance, if you have two triangles, divide the new length of the larger or smaller triangle by the same side length of the original.

If the side length of the new was 9 and the old was 3 then the scale factor would be 9/3 = 3.

If it were flipped then the new would be 3 and the old would be 9. So the scale factor would be 3/9 = 1/3.
