6.2^2 + b^2 = 8.7^2
38.44 + b^2 = 75.69
b^2 = 37.25
b ≈ 6.1
It's an arithmetic progression with first term = 8 and common difference d =2:
so the next term is 14 + 2 = 16
A) .05n + .10d + .25 q = 10.30
B) d +2 = q
C) n = 3q
Substituting equations B and C into A
A) .05*3q + .10(q-2) + .25 q = 10.30
A) .15q + .1q -.2 + .25q = 10.30
A) .50q = 10.50
21 quarters
C) n = 3q
C) n = 3*21
63 nickels
B) d +2 = q
d + 2 = 21
