There are 62 quarters and 52 dimes in the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Worth of jar coins = $20.70 = 20.70*100 = 2070 cents

1 Quarter = 25 cents

1 Dime = 10 cents

Let,

Number of quarters = x

Number of dimes = y

According to given statement;

25x+10y=2070    Eqn 1

x=y+10     Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

25(y+10)+10y=2070\\25y+250+10y=2070\\35y=2070-250\\35y=1820\\

Dividing both sides by 35

\frac{35y}{35}=\frac{1820}{35}\\y=52

Putting y=52 in Eqn 2

x=52+10\\x=62

There are 62 quarters and 52 dimes in the jar.

A civil engineer is designing a public parking lot for the new town hall. The number of cars in each row should be six less than
Alexandra [31]
The new parking lot must hold twice as many cars as the previous parking lot. The previous parking lot could hold 56 cars. So this means the new parking lot must hold 2 x 56 = 112 cars

Let y represent the number of cars in each row, and x be the number of total rows in the parking lot. Since the number of cars in each row must be 6 less than the number of rows, we can write the equation as:

y = x - 6             (1)

The product of cars in each row and the number of rows will give the total number of cars. So we can write the equation as:

xy = 112           (2)

Using the above two equations, the civil engineer can find the number of rows he should include in the new parking lot.

Using the value of y from equation 1 to 2, we get:

x(x - 6) = 112       (3)

This equation is only in terms of x, i.e. the number of rows and can be directly solved to find the number of rows that must in new parking lot.

blsea [12.9K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Either of ...

  • (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)
  • Rotation 180° about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

There are at least two ways to express the transformation that maps each coordinate to its opposite.

  1. reflection across the origin: (x, y) ⇒ (-x,-y)

  2. rotation 180° (either direction) about the origin.

Take your pick.
