Answer:

3+d=q and 0.10d+0.25q=1.80

There are 3 dimes and 6 quarters.

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.  

We know there are three more quarters than dimes. We write that as 3+d=q.

We also know the total cost and the value of each coin. We write 0.10d+0.25q=1.80.

We substitute 3+d for q in the second equation.

0.10d+0.25(3+d)=1.80

0.10d+0.75+0.25d=1.80

0.35d+0.75=1.80

We isolate the variable by subtracting 0.75 across the equal sign and then dividing by the coefficient of d.

0.35d=1.05

d=3

There are 3 dimes.

Because the coefficient of x^2 is -1, we know that a will be -1.  Knowing that the coefficient of x is -4, we can calculate that p=2.  Thus, we have -1(x+2)^2+q is our equation.  This is equal to -x^2-4x-4+q.  As the constant term must be 2, we can then see that q is 6.

As such, we have -1(x+2)^2+6=0 as our factorization.

To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula.  Plugging in values, we have:

\frac{4+-2 \sqrt{6} }{-2}
which is equal to: (when the fraction is simplified)
-2+- \sqrt{6}

Use the diagram and given information to answer the questions and prove the statement.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u> ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle):</u>

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Consider triangles XYB and ZYA. In these triangles

  • ∠X≅∠Z (given)
  • XY≅ZY (given)
  • ∠Y is common angle

By ASA Postulate, triangles XYB and ZYA are congruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so

BX≅AZ

Represent the following sentence as an algebraic expression, where "a number" is the letter x. You do not need to simplify.
My name is Ann [436]
<h3>Answer:  (2x)^3</h3>

Work Shown:

x = some unknown number

2x = twice the number

(2x)^3 = cubing the previous result

If you want to simplify this expression, then you would get 8x^3 since 2^3 = 8.
