<span>N + D = 55 coins (1) (N stands for nickels, 5N + 10D = 390 cents (2) D stands for dimes) Simplify (2) by canceling the factor 5 in both sides: N + 2D = 78 (3) Subtract eq(1) from eq(3). You will get D = 78 - 55 = 23. Answer. 23 dimes and 55-23 = 32 nickels. Check. 23*10 + 32*5 = 390 cents</span>

MrRa [10]
Answer: approximately 29 feet

Explanation: You need to find a tree so that the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to top of the tree is 40 degrees.

The length of the shadow is an adjacent side and is 35.
The height of the tree is the opposite side.  You could use X.

Tan ratio = opposite/adjacent

tan(40) =  x/35
x = 35*tan(40) =29.37

Causes of the expulsion of acadians
Pavel [41]

Answer: Once the Acadians refused to sign an oath of allegiance to Britain, which would make them loyal to the crown, the British Lieutenant Governor, Charles Lawrence, as well as the Nova Scotia Council on July 28, 1755 made the decision to deport the Acadians. The Expulsion (1755–1764) occurred during the French and Indian War (the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War) and was part of the British military campaign against New France. The British first deported Acadians to the Thirteen Colonies, and after 1758 transported additional Acadians to France. When the French and Indian War began in 1754, the British government, doubting the neutrality of the Acadians, demanded that they take an oath of allegiance to the Crown. ... British Governor Charles Lawrence decided to deport the Acadians from Nova Scotia without giving his colleagues any notice. They migrated to Louisiana because they had better fishing grounds, its territory controlled the gulf of St. Lawrence, and shipping routes and British colonies along the Atlantic coast.
