Answer:

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

z = number of quarters

Total worth of the coins = $41.45

Total number of coins = 361

x + y + z = 361 (1)

dime = $0.1,

nickel = $0.05

quarter = $0.25

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 41.45 (2)

twice as many dimes as quarters.

y = 2z

Substitute y = 2z into (1) and (2)

x + 2z + z = 361

0.05x + 0.1(2z) + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361

0.05x + 0.2z + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361 (3)

0.05x + 0.45z = 41.45 (4)

Multiply (4) by 20

x + 3z = 361 (3)

x + 9z = 829 (5)

Subtract (3) from (5)

9z - 3z = 829 - 361

6z = 468

Divide both sides by 6

z = 468 / 6

= 78

z= 78

Recall,

y = 2z

= 2(78)

= 156

y = 156

Substitute the value of y and z into

x + y + z = 361

x + 156 + 78 = 361

x + 234 = 361

x = 361 - 234

= 127

x= 127

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

"assume that josh throws the discus 36 times. let y denote the sum of the lengths of the 36 throws.
cluponka [151]
<span>Assuming that Josh throws the discus 36 times, the expected value of y will be the length each discus reaches for each throw all added together. Specifically, it will be discus throw one, plus discus throw two -- all the way to discus throw thirty-six. Adding all of those throws together will provide the expected value of Y.</span>

Factor 140c + 28 - 14a to identify the equivalent expressions.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The answer to your question are letters A, C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this polynomial we need to look for the common factor of the three terms.

To find it, get the greatest common factor

                        140    28   14     2

                          70    14     7     2

                          35     7     7     5

                            7     7      7     7

                             1     1       1    

Greatest common factor = 2 x 7 = 14  

Factor the polynomial

140c + 28 - 14a = 14 ( 10c + 2 - a)

Factor only 7          7(20c + 4 - 2a)

Factor only 2          2 (70c + 14 - 7a)
