The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 We have then:
 x = the number of nickels
 y = the number of dimes
 z = the number of quarters
 We write the system of equations:
 0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 2.05
 x + y + z = 18
 x = y
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 7
 y = 7
 z = 4
 Answer:
 
nickels = 7
 
dimes = 7
 
quarters = 4

Subtract. Write the difference in simplest form.<br><br>(5n - 3) - (-2n + 7)​
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Simplifying

(5n + -3) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-3 + 5n) + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-3 + 5n)

-3 + 5n + -1(-2n + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 5n + -1(7 + -2n) = 0

-3 + 5n + (7 * -1 + -2n * -1) = 0

-3 + 5n + (-7 + 2n) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-3 + -7 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: -3 + -7 = -10

-10 + 5n + 2n = 0

Combine like terms: 5n + 2n = 7n

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving

-10 + 7n = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 7n = 0 + 10

7n = 0 + 10

Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10

7n = 10

Divide each side by '7'.

n = 1.428571429

Simplifying

n = 1.428571429

Which inequality is equivalent to x-6/x+5≥x+7/x+3?
yawa3891 [41]
To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.

The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:

  x - 6        x + 7
--------- ≥  --------
  x + 5       x + 3

=>

  x - 6          x + 7
--------- -  --------   ≥ 0
  x + 5       x + 3

=>

 (x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
          (x + 5) (x + 3)

=>

 x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
         (x + 5) (x + 3)

           15x + 53
-     -------------------   ≥ 0
       (x + 5) (x + 3)

That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.

Consider the rational number, −0.4. Is the number greater than −2 and 1/3 but less than 4/5 ?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rational number -0.4 is a negative, it cannot have a greater value than 1/3 since it is a positive.

Though, the rest of the sentence is true.

-0.4 > -2

-0.4 < 4/5
