The correct equation would be: 2.) 0.05(x+4) + 0.10x = $1.25

A nickel is worth 5 cents. A dime is worth 10 cents.

no. of nickels = x + 4
no. of dimes = x

nickels + dimes = 1.25
0.05(x + 4) + 0.10x = 1.25
0.05x + 0.20 + 0.10x = 1.25
0.15x = 1.25 - 0.20
0.15x = 1.05
0.15x/ 0.15 = 1.05 / 0.15
x = 7 *no. of dimes.

no. of nickels = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11

To check:
0.05(11) + 0.10(7) = 1.25
0.55 + 0.70 = 1.25
1.25 = 1.25

Calculate the value of A to one decimal place
WINSTONCH [101]

Okay, you will need to use the law of cosines for this problem.

The Law of Cosines states (in this case): a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2 * b * c * cos A, where "a" is the side opposite angle A (7 inches), and b and c are the other two sides.

Plug the numbers in and you get: 7^2 = 5^2 + 9^2 - 2 * 5 * 9 * cos A, or:

49 = 25 + 81 - 90 * cos A.

Subtract (25 + 81) from both sides to get:

-57 = -90 * cos A.

Divide by -90 on both sides:

cos A = 19/30

To find A, you do the inverse trigonometric function to get:

cos^-1 of (19/30) = A.

I don't have a calculator that can do this right now, but if you plug the left side of the above equation into it (make sure it is in degrees, not radians), you should get A.
