If we let Q be the number of quarters and N be number of nickels, this is the formula we would use:
[1] 25Q + 5N = 635 (using cents instead of dollars)
We also know something about Q and N.
[2] Q + N = 51
So multiply both sides of the second equation by 5. The reason we do this is because we're going to need to cancel out one of the variables (either Q or N) to solve for the other one. If we multiply times 5, we'll have 5N in both equations.
5Q + 5N = 255
Now we have two equations, and the second one can be subtracted from the first.
25Q + 5N = 635
-(5Q + 5N) = -255
---------------------
20Q = 380
so
Q = 19
There are 19 quarters.
And since there are 51 coins in all, 51-19 = 32 nickels.

Explanation:
A triangle equals 180°, and they gave us one length already, and it says the one arm of the triangle is equal to the other so we know that the third angle is going to be the same as the second angle.
180=90+(6x+3)+(6x+3)
Combine like terms
180=96+12x
Subtract 96 from both sides
84=12x
Divide 12 by both sides
7=x
Now check it,
90+(6*7+3)+(6*7+3)
90+(45)+(45) =180
Answer:No
Step-by-step explanation:
GJ is a tangent
АG is a radius
A tangent line to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the tangent point ⇒ m∠АGJ = 90° ⇒ ΔАGJ is the right triangle.
<span>By the Pythagorean theorem:
</span>AJ² = АG² + GJ²
AJ² = 9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225
AJ = √225 = 15 units.
Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
