If nickels and quarters add up to 28 coins then it would be
n + q = 28

If nickels are .05 and quarters are .25 and the total is $4 then it would be
<span>.05n + .25q = 4</span>

Answer:

\left \{ {{n+q=28} \atop {n(0.05)+q(0.25)=4}} \right.

And the pair (n,q)=(15,13) is the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Yolanda paid for her movie ticket using 28 coins. She only paid with nickels and quarters.

We also know that the ticket cost $4.

We need to form a linear equation system that solves this problem.

We have the following variables :

n : number of nickels

q : number of quarters

We know that she used 28 coins ⇒ the number of nickels plus the number of quarters must be equal to 28.

We have our first equation :

n+q=28 (I)

For the second equation we need to use the ticket price information.

We know that the ticket cost $4 and she only paid with nickels and quarters.

Therefore we can write the following equation that relates the variable ''n'' and the variable ''q'' :

n(0.05)+q(0.25)=4 (II)

This equation represents that the number of nickels ''n'' per its value plus the number of quarters ''q'' per its value is equal to $4 that it is the value of the movie ticket.

With (I) and (II) we form the linear equation system :

\left \{ {{n+q=28} \atop {n(0.05)+q(0.25)=4}} \right.

This linear equation system can be used to find the value of ''n'' and ''q''.

For example, in equation (I)

n+q=28

we can solve it in terms of ''n'' :

n=28-q (III)

If we use (III) in (II) :

(28-q)(0.05)+q(0.25)=4

1.4-(0.05)q+(0.25)q=4

q(0.2)=2.6

q=\frac{2.6}{0.2}=13

q=13

Now replacing this value of q in (III) :

n=28-13=15

n=15

We find that Yoland used 15 nickels and 13 quarters to paid the movie ticket .

The given angles are complementary, therefore:

(5r + 5) + (8r -6) = 90°

13r - 1 = 90
13r - 1 + 1 = 90 + 1
13r = 91

13r/13 = 91/13

r = 7

Mrs. Barto has a pet rabbit and wants to build a pen for it. She has 3 pieces of lumber: one is 3 ft, one is 7 ft, and the other
sammy [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the length of the longest side of the triangle cannot be larger than the sum of the lenghts of the two shortest sides.

In formula, this means that:

c\leq a+b

where

c is the length of the longest side

a, b are the lengths of the shortest side

In this problem, we want to build a triangle using 3 pieces of lumber, each of length:

a = 3 ft

b = 7 ft

c = 8 ft

We can verify that the length of the longest piece of lumber is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides, so:

8\leq 3+7 = 10

Therefore, yes, it is possible to build a closed triangular pen.
