Let q and n represent the number of quarters and nickels respectively.

q=3n and .05n+.25q=1.6  These are the conditions in mathematical terms.

To solve, use the value of q from the first equation in the second equation to get:

.05n+.25(3n)=1.6  carry out indicated multiplication on left side

.05n+.75n=1.6  combine like terms on left side

.8n=1.6  divide both sides by .8

n=2, since q=3n

q=6

So Peggy had 2 nickels and 6 quarters.

Am I right?? <br> * Show examples &amp; details if I am wrong!! *
baherus [9]

Yes, you are correct.

From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.

All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).

We can gather the following information from the given information.

  • The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
  • The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9

We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:

12/x = x/9

Using the cross product property gives us:

x² = 9 × 12

x² = 108

Taking the square root of both sides gives us:

x = √108

= 6 √3

Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

What is the measure of the missing angle?<br> 280<br> 78°
nlexa [21]

Answer:

2 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 360 degrees in a circle, triangle, square, and a ton of other shapes, and 280 plus 78 gives you 358 degrees. 360 - 358 equals 2 degrees.

Hope this helps!
