There are 6 nickels and 14 pennies.
There are 20 total coins.

The ratio of nickels to coins is 6:20.
Both of these are divisible by 2, so we can reduce this to 3:10.

A ratio is written like it says like if there are 2 pennies and 5 quarters, if you were to make a ratio out of that, then the ratio is 2:5
The amount of nickels is 6 and the total number of coins is 20
So this ratio would be 6:20 or 6/20 or 6 to 20, however you want to write it
When the problem asks the lowest terms, it means the simplest ratio where you cannot simplify the ratio any further like 1:2 is simplified but 2:8 isn't simplified because you can reduce 2:8 into 1:4
First, you must find the GCF (otherwised known as greatest common factor)
This can be confused with LCM
The GCF is no more than the smallest number
The LCM is no less than your greatest number
If you can't get the GCF of a ratio, then that ratio is simplified and can no longer be simplified.
So the GCF of 6 and 20 is 2
You need to divide both numbers by the GCF and you will get
3:10
<em>The ratio from nickels to pennies is 3 nickels / 10 coins</em>
This is how I learned it in school and I know some methods are probably easier than this one.

Answer:

Go through the explanation you should be able to solve them

Step-by-step explanation:

How do you know a difference of two square;

Let's consider the example below;

x^2 - 9 = ( x+ 3)( x-3); this is a difference of two square because 9 is a perfect square.

Let's consider another example,

2x^2 - 18

If we divide through by 2 we have:

2x^2/2 -18 /2 = x^2 - 9 ; which is a perfect square as shown above

Let's take another example;

x^6 - 64

The above expression is the same as;

(x^3)^2 -( 8)^2= (x^3 + 8) (x^3 -8); this is a difference of 2 square.

Let's take another example

a^5 - y^6 ; a^5 - (y ^3)^2

We cannot simplify a^5 as we did for y^6; hence the expression is not a perfect square

Lastly let's consider

a^4 - b^4 we can simplify it as (a^2)^2 - (b^2)^2 ; which is a perfect square because it evaluates to

(a^2 + b^2) ( a^2 - b^2)

What is the answer to the equation X=3-(3x6)+2?
dolphi86 [110]
  x =  3 - (3×6) + 2.        We perform the operation in the bracket first.

  x =  3 - 18 + 2

  x =  -15 + 2 = 2 -15 = -13

 x  = -13
