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

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

3 consecutive odd integers such that the sum of twice the first and three times the second is 55 more than twice the third
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Consecutive odd integers are 19 , 21 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first 3 consecutive odd intergers be x , (x + 2) and (x + 4).

According to the question,

2x + 3(x + 2) = 2(x + 4) + 55

=  > 2x + 3x + 6 = 2x + 8 + 55

Eliminating 2x from both the sides,

=  > 3x + 6 = 63

=  > 3x = 63 - 6 = 57

=  > x =  \frac{57}{3}  = 19

So, the consecutive odd integers are = 19 , 21 & 23.

Can someone please help me witch is the answer 20 points to the one who can answer first
ladessa [460]

First, let's find the slope.

Slope = (7 - (-3)) / (2 - 0) = (7 + 3) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5

So far our equation looks like: y = 5x + b

Leta plug one of the points into our equation to find b.

-3 = 5(0) + b

Simplify.

-3 = b

The equation is: y = 5x - 3

Answer choice B is correct.

Bro<br> I’m lazy and I don’t wanna do it if someone can do it it would mean a lot
NARA [144]

Answer:

Option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

X is a number greater than the equality. Therefore the arrow will go to the bigger side. It also is not equal to the equality hence the cirle is open.

Write an equation in slope intercept form that passes through the point (3,9) and has a slope of -5
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

y= -5x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept form</u>

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

Given that the slope is -5, m= -5.

Substitute m= -5 into the equation:

y= -5x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation:

When x= 3, y= 9,

9= -5(3) +c

9= -15 +c

c= 9 +15

c= 24

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -5x +24.
