D=2n:  there are twice as many dimes as nickels.

n+d+q=52:  a total of 52 coins, using d from above in this gives you:

n+2n+q=52  combine like terms on left side

3n+q=52  subtract 3n from both sides

q=52-3n

Then you are told that the coins have a total value of $6 which is equal to 600 cents.  So we can say:

25q+10d+5n=600  divide all terms by 5

5q+2d+n=120, and from earlier we saw q=52-3n and d=2n so you have:

5(52-3n)+2(2n)+n=120  expanding...

260-15n+4n+n=120  combining like terms

260-10n=120  subtract 260 from both sides

-10n=-140  divide both sides by -10

n=14, since q=52-3n and d=2n

q=(52-3(14))=52-42=10 

d=2(14)=28

So there are 10 quarters, 28 dimes, and 14 nickels or as your choices put it:

q=10, d=28, n=14  (the correct answer is d.)

The area of a square photo is 9 square inches how long is each side of the photo
Marta_Voda [28]
Let the side of each side of photo is a inch.

So area of photo = (side)^2 = a^2

But as given area of photo is 9 square inch.

So a^2 = 9

a =  \sqrt{9}
          = 3

So side of photo is 3 inch.

The scatterplot below represents the number of hot drinks sold on a given
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A) y=-1/2x+55

Step-by-step explanation:

We can clearly see a negative trend/association between the number of hot drinks sold on a given  day and the low temperature of that day. Therefore, the slope of the best line of fit must be negative, eliminating D and E. Also, notice that when the low temperature is 0°F, the number of hot drinks sold is about 55, which is a good indicator of our y-intercept or constant, eliminating choice C. Because the best line of fit is not so steep, the slope will be closer to 0 if it's a negative trend. This eliminates choice B, making the correct answer A.
