Answer:8 pennies, 12 quarters, 18 dimes, so there are 10 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

There are five nickels.

Let <em>w</em> = the number of pennies; <em>x</em> = the number of nickels; <em>y</em> = the number of dimes; <em>z </em>= the number of quarters.

Then, we have three equations with four unknowns:

(1) <em>w</em> + <em>x = y </em>

(2) 3<em>w</em> = 2<em>z</em>

(3) 2<em>y</em> = 3<em>z</em>

However, there is a fourth <em>unstated </em>condition: <em>w</em>, <em>x</em>, y, and <em>z</em> must all be integers.

Assume that z = 6 (to avoid fractions).

From Equation (2), w = 4.

From Equation (3), y = 9.

Insert the values for <em>w</em> and <em>y</em> into equation (1).

4 + <em>x</em> = 9

x = 9 – 4 = 5

Thus, there are 4 pennies, 5 nickels, 9 dimes, and 6 quarters.

<em>Check</em>: 4 pennies + 5 nickels = 9 dimes

6 quarters + 4 pennies = 3 quarters for every 2 pennies

9 dimes + 6 quarters = 3 dimes for every 2 quarters

How are polynomials like other number systems such as whole numbers and integers?
Agata [3.3K]
You can add, subtract, and multiply them. These three operations obey the rules for integers. There's a polynomial division algorithm that fills formally the same role as the usual division algorithm for integers. Polynomials added to, subtracted from, or multiplied by other polynomials yield only polynomials. Likewise, integers added to, subtracted from, or multiplied by other integers yield only integers.

Write a division problem. Show two different ways that you can estimate the quotient using compatible numbers.
Levart [38]
98 divided by 7


1. 98-round to 100
    7-round to 10

100 divided by 10=10

So 98 divided by 7 is about 10

That is one way
