Answer:

8 quarters and 14 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of dimes and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.

• $d+q=22$ is an equation representing the total number of coins

• $0.10d+0.25q=3.40$ is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.10 and 0.25 come from the value of a dime and quarter individually.

We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get $d=22-q$ . We now substitute this for d in the second equation.

$0.10(22-q)+0.25q=3.40\\2.2-0.10q+0.25q=3.40\\2.2+0.15q=3.40$

After simplifying, we subtract 2.2 across and divide by the coefficient of q.

$2.2+0.15q=3.40\\0.15q=1.20\\q=8$

We now know of the 22 coins that 8 are quarters. To find the number of dimes, we subtract 8 from 22 to get 14 dimes.

A straight line has a degree of 180 degrees.
So you are trying to find the angle that is created with the points j,m, and l.
so take the other angle 54 degrees and subtract that by 180.
180-54=126 degrees.
so now that you have the angle of J,M,L set that to equal 3x
3x=126
divide 3 from both sides
x= $\frac{126}{3}$
so x =42

Let me know if you have any questions.

Given the event "a die lands with a 6 on top", which of the following is the complement of this event? Choose the correct ans

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The die lands with a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 on top ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

- Complementary events are two outcomes of an event that are the

only two possible outcomes

- The Complement Rule states that the sum of the probabilities of

an event and its complement must equal 1

- P(A) + P(A') = 1

- Lets solve the problem

- The event A is:

" a die lands with a 6 on top "

∴ P(A) = $\frac{1}{6}$

∵ P(A) + P(A') = 1

∴ $\frac{1}{6}$ + P(A') = 1

- Subtract $\frac{1}{6}$ from both sides

∴ P(A') = $\frac{5}{6}$

∵ The die has six numbers from 1 to 6

∴ The other numbers than 6 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5

∴ The complement of event A is:

" A die lands with 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 or 5 "

* The complement of the event is:

The die lands with a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 on top
