Answer:

q = 15

n = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Let the nickels = n

Let the quarters = q

q + n = 40                            (1)

0.25*d + 0.05*n = 5.00       (2)    Multiply 2 by 100 to get everything into pennies. It is currently in dollars.

25q + 5n = 500                    Multiply (1) by 5

5q + 5n = 200                     Subtract

20q = 300                           Divide by 20

20q/20 = 300/20               Do the division

q = 15

q + n = 40                             Substitute 15 for q

15 + n = 40                           Subtract 15 from both sides

15 - 15 + n = 40 - 15              

n = 25

Check

15 * 0.25 + 25 * 0.05

3.75 +  1.25

5

Which is what it should equal.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the graph of y = 2x - 5 and passes through the point (4,2)?
mezya [45]

Answer:

y=2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A line parallel to another will have the same gradient
  • So the equation will be y=2x+c
  • We need to find out what c is, so substitute in the values for x and y
  • 2=2\times 4 + c
  • 2=8+c
  • c=2-8=-6
  • So your equation is y=2x-6!

Answer:

y=1.44

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<u />\frac{4.5}{y} =\frac{12.5}{4}<u />

<u />

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Cross-multiply:                    4(4.5) = 12.5y
  2. Multiply:                               18 = 12.5y
  3. Isolate <em>y</em>:                              1.44 = y
  4. Rewrite:                               y=1.44

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in y to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    \frac{4.5}{1.44} =\frac{12.5}{4}
  2. Divide:                          3.125=3.125

Here, we see that 3.125 does indeed equal 3.125. ∴ y = 1.44 is a solution of the equation.
