You find 72 coins consisting only of nickels, dimes, and quarters, with a face value of $10.20. However, the coins all date from

1919, and are worth considerably more than their face value. A coin dealer offers you $10 for each nickel, $20 for each dime, and $15 for each quarter, for a total of $1,060. How many nickels did you find?

Answer:

You have found 24 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N be the number of nickles, D be the number of dimes and Q be the number of quarters. The number of coins and their face values are given by the following expressions, respectively:

N+D+Q=72\\0.05N+0.10D+0.25Q=10.20

As of now we have three variables and two expressions, the final expression needed to solve the linear system is given by the amount offered by the coin dealer:

10N+20D+15Q=1,060

Solving the linear system:

N+D+Q=72\\5N+10D+25Q=1,020\\10N+20D+15Q=1,060\\\\10N-10N+20D-20D+15Q-50Q=1,060-(2*1,020)\\-35Q=-980\\Q=28\\\\5N-10N+10D-10D+25Q-10Q=1,020-720\\-5N+15Q=300\\-5N=300-(15*28)\\N=24

You have found 24 nickels.

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all angle measures in any triangle is 180 degrees.

  • Thus, 23 + 5x - 18 + 90 = 180.

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

  • (5x)+(23+90-18)=180
  • 5x+95=180

Step 2: Subtract 95 from both sides.

  • 5x+95-95=180-95
  • 5x=85

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

  • 5x/5=85/5
  • x=17

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

  • (5*17-18)+23+90=180
  • 67+23+90=180
  • 180=180

Thus, x = 17.

The area of a rectanglular sandbox is (5x + 40) feet. Factor 5x + 40 to find possible dimensions of the sandbox
kotegsom [21]
5x+40 factors to 5(x+8). Notice how distributing the 5 back through to each term in the parenthesis gives
5 times x = 5x
5 times 8 = 40
So 5*(x+8) = 5*x+5*8 = 5x+40

Therefore, the factors are 5 and (x+8).
The dimensions of the sandbox are 5 feet by (x+8) feet.

We don't know the numeric value of (x+8) since we don't know the value of x, so we leave it as is.
