Hello There!

<u><em>n - d = 0</em></u>

<u><em>5n+10d = 90</em></u>

<u><em>----------------------</em></u>

<u><em>n-d = 0</em></u>

<u><em>n+2d = 18</em></u>

<u><em>-------------------</em></u>

<u><em>Subtract and solve for "d":</em></u>

<u><em>3d = 18</em></u>

<u><em>d = 6 (# of dimes)</em></u>

<u><em>n = d = 6 (# of nickels)</em></u>

Answer:

Meryann brought 6 friends to the party

Step-by-step explanation:

y=9x+24

24 is your constant because the cost for all the pizza won't change

9x will change, so x represents the number of friends she brought

and y will be 78 because it's the total amount of money

78=9x+24

all you have to do is solve this equation

54=9x

x=6

Solve the following system of equations: 2x + 4y − 3z = −7 3x + y + 4z = −12 x + 3y + 4z = 4

lukranit [14]

2x + 4y − 3z = −7 ---> first equation

3x + y + 4z = −12 ---> second equation

x + 3y + 4z = 4 ---> third equation

We try to eliminate z and make two equations

Multiply first equation by 4 and second equation by 3. then add both equations

8x + 16y -12z = -28

9x + 3y +12z = -36

----------------------------

17x + 19y = -64 ---------------> equation 4

multiply third equation by -1 and add second and third equation

3x + y + 4z = −12

-x - 3y - 4z = -4

-------------------------------------

2x -2y = -16 ---------------> equation 5

Multiply equation 4 by 2 and equation by 19

34x + 38y = -128

38x - 38y = -304

------------------------------------

72x = -432

Divide by 72 on both sides

x = -6

use equation 2x -2y = -16 ---------------> equation 5

2(-6) - 2y = -16

-12 -2y = -16

-2y = -4

So y = 2

Now plug in 2 for y and -6 for x

Using any one of the three equations

x + 3y + 4z = 4

-6 + 3(2) +4z = 4

4z = 4 (divide by 4 on both sides)

So z=1

So x= -6, y = 2 and z= 1

In triangle abc, AC=15 BC=11 and m

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angle triangle

Hypothenus ^2= opposite ^2+ adjacent ^2

According to a diagram below

Hypothenus =15

Opposite =?

Adjacent =11

Substitute for the values

15^2=11^2+opp^2

Opp^2=15^2-11^2

0pp^2= 225-121

Opp2=104

Opp= square root of 104

Opp= 10.2

Opp= ~10
