Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8

I need help with #18,20,22 and 24. Please show your work and I'm really thankful for your help as soon as possible!

I'll start 18 and 22 for you, and you should then be able to do the rest on your own!

For 18, what we literally do is apply the distance formula for all the points and add them up. For B to C, we get the distance between them to be
sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)=sqrt((0-4)^2+(3-(-1))^2)=sqrt((-4)^2+4^2)=sqrt(16+16)=sqrt(32). Repeat the process for C to E, E and F, and F to B then add the results up to get your answer!

For 22, since the area of a rectangle is length*width (we know given the right angles and that the opposite sides are equal in how long they are), we can multiply 2 perpendicular lines, for example, BC and CE to get sqrt(32)*sqrt(8)=16 as the area

How would you write a phrase that represents the expression 7(n - 12)?
NemiM [27]
7n-84 would be your correct answer, 7 times n is 7n. 12 times 7 is 84 so therefore your answer would be 7n-84
