Step-by-step explanation:
x=4.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
The value of the coin times the number of coins all added up equals the total value of the piggy bank
so
0.05n + 0.10d = 5.60
then they have given us "number of nickels is 8 less than 3 times the dimes"
this translates to
n = 3d - 8
we plug this into our first equation and we get
0.05(3d - 8) + 0.10d = 5.60
now we solve for d
first we can distribute the 0.05
0.15d - 0.40 + 0.10d = 5.60
then we can add the 0.15d and 0.10d together
and get
0.25d - 0.40 = 5.60
then we can add 0.40 to both sides
0.25d = 6.00
then divide both sides by 0.25
d = 6.00 / 0.25 = 24
so we have 24 dimes
then to find nickels, we plug in 24 for d into
n = 3d - 8
and get
n = 3(24) - 8
n = 72 - 8
n = 64
therefore we have
64 nickels
and
24 dimes
