45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "n" be the number of nickels

Let "d" be the number of dimes

We know that,

value of 1 nickel = $ 0.05

value of 1 dime = $ 0.10

<em><u>Given that There are three more than twice as many nickels as there are dimes</u></em>

Number of nickels = 3 + 2(number of dimes)

n = 3 + 2d ---- eqn 1

<em><u>Also given that coin bank that excepts only nickels and dimes contains $9.15</u></em>

number of nickels x value of 1 nickel + number of dimes x value of 1 dime = 9.15

n \times 0.05 + d \times 0.10 = 9.15

0.05n + 0.10d = 9.15  ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

0.05(3 + 2d) + 0.10d = 9.15

0.15 + 0.1d + 0.10d = 9.15

0.2d = 9

<h3>d = 45</h3>

From eqn 1

n = 3 + 2(45)

n = 3 + 90 = 93

<h3>n = 93</h3>

Thus 45 dimes and 93 nickels were in bank

Alex787 [66]
Elliott's bed -> 75 in
Elliott before -> 5 ft 11 in = 71 in
Elliott after -> 71 + 6 = 77 in

77 - 75 = 2 in

Elliott's bed is shorter than him by 2 inches.

Andy randomly selects an outfit to go to school. He can choose from 4 shirts: blue stripes, red stripes, black or white stripes.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that Andy chooses a striped shirt and a pair of blue shorts is:

\frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}

The probability that Andy chooses a striped shirt and pair of tan or plaid shorts is:

\frac{3}{4} * (\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}) = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}

How would I simplify the equation 5u^6x^2+20wx/15x^4
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The simplified form is 5u^6x^2+\frac{4w x^{-3}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression given to use, we need to reduce the given expression in its simplest form. There should not be any possibility for the further cancelling out of the division terms, if any.

Now the expression that is given to us is:

5u^6x^2+\frac{20wx}{15x^4}\\

Here we will simplify it, as follows:

5u^6x^2+\frac{20wx}{15x^4}\\=5u^6x^2+\frac{4w}{3x^3}\\=5u^6x^2+\frac{4w x^{-3}}{3}

So this is the required simplified form.
