Answer:
k = 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
k² + 7.5² = 8.5²
k² + 56.25 = 72.25 ( subtract 56.25 from both sides )
k² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
k = 
= 4
Vas happening?
You break it down
3 ^5 is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729
4 ^ 5 is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 1024
729 times 1024 = 746,496
12 ^ 10 is 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 = 6.19174e10
So the answer is incorrect
- <u>While </u><u>shopping </u><u>for </u><u>clothes </u><u>Tracey </u><u>spent </u><u>3</u><u>8</u><u>$</u><u> </u><u>less </u><u>than </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>times </u><u>of </u><u>what </u><u>Daniel </u><u>spent </u>
- <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>determine </u><u>the </u><u>total </u><u>cost </u><u>spent </u><u>by </u><u>daniel</u>
Cost spent by Tracey for her clothes = 38$
Let assume the spending by Daniel is x
If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:
z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)
Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:
1.2 + z = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)
Plug in the values you know:
1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)
Solve for x:
1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8
This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:
She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.
If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.
