Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins: 

One dime = $0.10 

One quarter = $0.25 

Let x = number of dimes 

        y<span> = number of quarters</span> 

Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that: 

<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y) 

Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that: 

0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40 

To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y) 

0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40 

7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40 

0.15y = 5.40 

y = 36 

X = 70 – 36 

X = 34 

Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span> 

34 dimes = $3.40 

36 dimes = $9.00 

<span>Total           </span><span>$12.40</span>

A line segment has endpoints A(4, 8) and B(2, 10). The point M is the midpoint of AB. What is an equation of a line perpendicula
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I)

The Midpoint M of the line segment AB is found using the Midpoint formula:

M=( \frac{4+2}{2} , \frac{8+10}{2})=(3, 9)

ii)

the slope of the line through A and B is found by the slope formula:

m= \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{10-8}{2-4}= \frac{2}{-2}=-1

iii)

the product of the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is -1, so the slope of the line perpendicular to the line through A and B is -1/(-1)=1

iv) 

the equation of the line with slope 1, which contains point M(3, 9) is found by the slope point form equation of a line:

y-9=1(x-3)

y-9=x-3

y=x+6


Answer: y=x+6

Can someone give me the answers for the number frame and how you did it, I’m confused :)
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

16, 56, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you have to put in each cell the multiplication of the row and the column, so the columns are 2, 7, 4 etc., and the row is always 8.

First cell: 2x8 = 16

Second cell: 7x8 = 56

and so on

It teaches you to apply the multiplication in a random sequence; you should be able to do this in your head.

The first term of geometric sequence is 7 and the common ratio is -2. Find the 9th term.
kobusy [5.1K]
a_{1} = 7.

Ratio means multiply/divide.
To get the next number, multiply number by common ratio.
To get a previous number, divide by common ratio.

Since we want the next number...
2nd term: 7 x -2 = -14
3rd term: -14 x -2 = 28
4th term: 28 x -2 = -56
5th term: -56 x -2 = 112

Keep going until 9th term!
