Find the length of the segment with endpoints of (3,2) and (-3,-6).
MakcuM [25]
The formula of the length of the segment AB:
A(x_A;\ y_A);\ B(x_B;\ y_B)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}
We have:
A(3;\ 2)\to x_A=3;\ y_A=2\\\\B(-3;\ -6)\to x_B=-3;\ y_B=-6
Substitute:
|AB|=\sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(-6-2)^2}=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{36+64}=\sqrt{100}=10
Answer: B) 10.

There are nickles and quarters worth $2.20 in total. If there are 28 coins, how many nickels are there?
Eduardwww [97]
Answer:

There are 24 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels

Let y represent the number of quarters
—————————————————————

Value Value
Type Number of of
of of each all
Coin Coin Coin Coin
—————————————————————
Nickels | x | $0.05 | $0.05x
Quarters | y | $0.25 | $0.25y
—————————————————————
Totals 28 ——— $2.20
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The first equation comes from the “Number of coins” column.

(Number of nickels) + (Number of quarters) = (total number of coins)

Equation: x + y = 28
—————————————————————
The second equation comes from the “value of all coins” column.

(Value of all nickels) + (Value of all quarters) = (Total value of all coins)

0.05x + 0.25y = 2.20

Remove the decimals by multiplying each term by 100:

5x + 25y = 220
—————————————————————
So we have the system of equations:

{x + y = 28
{5x + 25y = 202

Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 28
y = 28 - x

Substitute (28 - x) for y in 5x + 25y = 220

5x + 25 (28 - x) = 220
5x + 700 - 25x = 220
-20x + 700 = 220
-20x = -480
x = 24

The number of nickels is 24.
————————————————————
Substitute in y = 28 - x
y = 28 - (24)
y = 4

The number of quarters is 4.
————————————————————
Checking:

24 nickels is $1.20 and 4 quarters is $1.00
That’s 28 coins.
Indeed $1.20 + $1.00 = $2.20

2% of the students at Hamilton Middle School have red hair. There are 700 students at Hamilton Middle
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

14 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a percentage proportion to find 2% of 700.

\frac{x}{700} = \frac{2}{100}, and we can use the cross products property to find the value of x.

700\cdot2=1400\\\\1400\div100=14

Hope this helped!
