Answer:

<em>3n; 2 nickels and 6 quarters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

"Peggy had three times as many quarters as nickels."

Whatever number of nickels she has, the number of quarters is 3 times as many.

Since she has n nickels, she has 3 times n quarters.

The number of quarters is 3n.

A nickel is worth $0.05, so n nickels are worth 0.05n.

A quarter is worth $0.25, so 3n quarters are worth 0.25(3n).

0.05n + 0.25(3n) = 1.60

0.05n + 0.75n = 1.6

0.8n = 1.6

n = 2

She has 2 nickels.

3n = 3(2) = 6

She has 6 quarters.

<h3>Answer: Choice D) \sqrt{34}, 6, 2\pi, \sqrt{42}</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

Use a calculator to find the decimal form of each of the following below (values are approximate; rounded to 2 decimal places)

  • 2pi = 6.28
  • sqrt(42) = 6.48
  • sqrt(34) = 5.83

We see that the order of the decimal values is: 5.83, 6, 6.28, 6.48

So the order of the terms, from smallest to largest, is \sqrt{34}, 6, 2\pi, \sqrt{42}

A) Write the following in standard form and find A, B and C
alex41 [277]

Answer:

  • a)  2x -y = -5; A=2, B=-1, C=-5
  • b)  y = 2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Standard Form is ...

  Ax + By = C

where A > 0 and A, B, C are mutually prime.

To get that form, we can add 2x-5 to both sides of the equation:

  (2x -5) -2x = (2x -5) -y +5

  -5 = 2x -y

Then we can swap sides of the equal sign:

  2x -y = -5 . . . . . . standard form

Matching this to the generic standard form equation, we find ...

  A = 2

  B = -1

  C = -5

__

b) We can solve for y by adding 2x+y to both sides of the equation:

  (2x +y) -2x = (2x +y) -y +5

  y = 2x +5 . . . . . . slope-intercept form
