Let
n-------> the number of nickels
q------> the number of quarters
we know that

so
----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
![0.05n+0.25[3n]=1.60](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.05n%2B0.25%5B3n%5D%3D1.60)



Find the value of q

therefore
<u>The answer part a) is</u>
the number of nickels are
and the number of quarters are 
<u>the answer Part b) is</u>
The expressions that represents the number of quarters is
1. The simplified expression is 10x+8y-12.
Combine like terms to simplify the expression.
-6x-12+8y+16x
-6x and 16x are both like terms, so those can be combined.
-6x+16x=10x
10x+8y-12
2. The solution to the equation is x=13.
Solve by adding 17 to both sides of the equation.
-4=-17+x
-4+17=-17+17+x
13=x
Answer:
approximately 6.708 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the problem, using 3 feet and 6 feet as the legs of a right angle triangle. The diagonal of the screen is therefore the "hypotenuse" of this right angle triangle, and can be determined via the formula:

which is approximately 6.708 feet
