D= # of dimes
q= # of quarters

QUANTITY EQUATION:
d + q= 64

COST EQUATION:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25


STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -0.10 to be able to eliminate the d term in step 2

(-0.10)(d + q)= (-0.10)(64)
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40


STEP 2:
add equation from step 1 to cost equation to eliminate the d term and solve for q

Add
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40

0.15q= 2.85
divide both sides by 0.15

q= 19 quarters


STEP 3:
substitute q value in step 2 into either original equation to find d value

d + q= 64

d + 19= 64
subtract 19 from both sides

d= 45 dimes


CHECK:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
0.10(45) + 0.25(19)= 9.25
4.50 + 4.75= 9.25
9.25= 9.25


ANSWER: There are 45 dimes and 19 quarters.

Hope this helps! :)

If 2x^2-5x+7 is subtracted from x^2+2x-11, what is the leading coefficient?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 5x + 7 is subtracted <em>from </em>x² + 2x - 11, so

(x² + 2x - 11) - (2x² - 5x + 7)

x² + 2x - 11 - 2x² + 5x -7 (Distribute the negative)

-x² + 7x - 18 (Combine like terms)

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the first term, so it is -1.

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with the dimensions: base 3 1 2 cm, height 1 1 2 cm, and length 5 1 2 cm?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The volume of a rectangular prism is 28\frac{7}{8}\ cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the rectangular prism is equal to

V=BHL

Convert the given dimensions to an improper fractions

B=3\frac{1}{2}\ cm=\frac{3*2+1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\ cm

H=1\frac{1}{2}\ cm=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ cm

L=5\frac{1}{2}\ cm=\frac{5*2+1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\ cm

substitute in the formula

V=(\frac{7}{2})(\frac{3}{2})(\frac{11}{2})=\frac{231}{8}\ cm^{3}

Convert to mixed number

\frac{231}{8}=\frac{224}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=28\frac{7}{8}\ cm^{3}

Find the value of each variable and the measure of each labeled angle.<br> Explain your answer.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(3x + 8) = 50

(5x - 20) = 50

(5x + 4y) = 130

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 8 = 5x - 20

2x = 28

x = 14

5(14) + 4y + 5(14) - 20 = 180

y = 15
