I have 12 more nickels than quarters. If the coins are worth $5.40, how many nickels are there?

Let's try to create two equations to help us solve this problem. For this problem, n will represent the number of nickels and q will represent the number of quarters.


A first one could represent the number of <em>coins </em>we have. This does not regard the value of the coins, but rather just how many we could <em>count</em>. Based on the information in the problem, we could say:

n = 12 + q

After all, the number of nickels is 12 more than the number of quarters.


Now, let's create an equation to represent the value of the coins we have. Since each n nickel is worth 5 cents, we can say the value of all the nickels in cents is 5n. We can thus say for quarters that the value of all quarters in cents is 25q. Since we know the value of the coins we have adds to $5.40, or 540 cents, we can say:

5n + 25q = 540


Now, we have two equations:

n = 12 + q

5n + 25q = 540


We can use substitution to find our answers:

5(12 + q) + 25q = 540

60 + 5q + 25q = 540

30q + 60 = 540

30q = 480

q = 16


We have now found that the number of quarters we have is 16. When we use this value in one of our equations, we can find n:

n = 12 + q

n = 12 + 16 = 28


We have 16 quarters and 28 nickels.

Help needed math 3 - 10 points read closely

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The answer is the fourth option,

f(-3)=-\frac{1}{3}

<h2>Why?</h2>

Piecewise functions are functions that are composed by two or more expressions, the expression to use will depend of the domain or input that we need to evaluate.

We are given the piecewise function:

\left \{ {{\frac{1}{x}, if x

There, we know that:

We should use the first expression if the value to evaluate is less than -2.

So, for this case, the function will be:

f(x)=\frac{1}{x}

We should use the second expression if the value to evaluate is greater or equal than 2.

So, for this case, the function will be:

f(x)=x^{2}

Now, since we are given that the value to evaluate is -3, and its less than -2, we need to use the first expression, and evaluate it.

-3

So, evaluating the function we have:

f(x)=\frac{1}{x}

f(-3)=\frac{1}{-3}

f(-3)=-\frac{1}{3}

Hence, we have that the answer is the fourth option,

f(-3)=-\frac{1}{3}

kkurt [141]

Answer:

X probability = 0.02

Cumulative frequency at x ( 6 ) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

X       P ( X )            Cf ( X )

1        0.58                0.58

2        0.18                0.58 + 0.18 = 0.76

3        0.10                0.76 + 0.10 = 0.86

4        0.07                0.86 + 0.07 = 0.93

5        0.05                0.93 + 0.05 = 0.98

6        0.02                0.98 + 0.02 = 1

7 cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. How many different 7-card hands are possible if the drawing is done
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The number of different 7 card hands possibility is  133784560

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of different 7 card hands possibility is shown below:

Here we use the combination as the orders of choosing it is not significant

So,

The number of the different hands possible would be

= ^{52}C_7

= 52! ÷ (7! × (52 - 7)!)

= 133784560

Hence, the number of different 7 card hands possibility is  133784560
