You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. Your friend says it is possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the num

ber of dimes. Is your friend correct? Explain. Let d represent the number of dimes.

Let x be the amount of quarters
Let y be the amount of dimes

X + 8 = y

Y + x = 2.80

Substitute

Y * x = 2.80

(X+8) + x = 2.80

2x = -6.80
x = -3.40

See this doesnr make sense
Because there cant be a negative amount of dimes

What's the equation of the line that's a perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting C (6, –12) and D (10, –8)? answers: A)
vitfil [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular bisector of a line divides the line into 2 equal parts and it is perpendicular to the line.

First let's find the midpoint of CD. The point is where the perpendicular bisector will cut through the line.

midpoint= ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} ,  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

Thus, midpoint of CD

= ( \frac{6 + 10}{2} , \frac{ - 12 - 8}{2} ) \\  = ( \frac{16}{2} , \frac{ - 20}{2} ) \\  = (8, - 10)

Gradient of line CD

=  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}  \\  =  \frac{ - 12 -  ( - 8)}{6 - 10}  \\  =  \frac{ - 12 + 8}{ - 4} \\  =  \frac{ - 4}{ - 4}  \\  = 1

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

gradient if perpendicular bisector(1)= -1

gradient of perpendicular bisector= -1

y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

y= -x +c

Subst a coordinate to find c.

<em>Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the point (8, -10):</em>

When x=8, y= -10,

-10= -8 +c

c= -10 +8

c= -2

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -x -2.

As shown in the question, the translation changes the points as follows:

(x,y)\rightarrow(x+2,y-2)

Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C(-5,-1)\rightarrow C^{\prime}(-3,-3) \\ D(-4,3)\rightarrow D^{\prime}(-2,1) \\ E(-3,2)\rightarrow E^{\prime}(-1,0) \\ F(-2,0)\rightarrow F^{\prime}(0,-2) \end{gathered}

Rachel's learning to play the violin Monday through Friday she practices 45 minutes on each day on Saturday and Sundays he broug
I am Lyosha [343]

Rachel spends 6 hours 45 minutes a week trying to learn to play the violin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Rachel learns for 45 minutes a day from Monday through Friday and in the weekend she learns to play the violin for one and a half hours. So she learns for the following periods of time

Monday - 45 minutes

Tuesday - 45 minutes

Wednesday - 45 minutes

Thursday - 45 minutes

Friday - 45 minutes

Saturday - 90 minutes (60 × 1.5 hours)

Sunday - 90 minutes (60 × 1.5 hours)

Step 2; To determine how much time she practices in a week we just add the individual times she plays on each day.

Total time practices in a week = 45 + 45 + 45 + 45 + 45 + 90 + 90 = 405 minutes = 6 hours 45 minutes.
