Answer:

720 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially the Penny bank is 1/2 full

After removing 120 pennies it is 1/3 full;

Therefore. the fraction equivalent to 120 pennies is;

1/2 -1/3 = 1/6

Thus; Assuming the number of pennies that the penny bank can hold when full is x; then;

1/6 of x = 120

x = 120 × 6

= 720 pennies

Hence, when the penny bank is full it can hold 720 pennies.

Answer:

720 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the fraction originally contained in the bank (1/2) and the fraction that remains after Maria removes 120 pennies (1/3) represents the fraction occupied by the 120 pennies.

Therefore the fraction occupied by the 120 pennies= 1/2-1/3=1/6

thus if 1/6 of the bank can hold 120 pennies, then, when full it holds 120×6/1=720 pennies

How many solutions does the system have?

sertanlavr [38]

If a solution(s) exists y=y so we can say:

x^2-3x=-2x+2 add 2x to both sides

x^2-x=2 subtract 2 from both sides

x^2-x-2=0 factor

(x-2)(x+1)=0

So x=-1 and 2, using y=-2x+2 we find:

y(-1)=4 and y(2)=-2

So the two solutions occur at the points:

(-1,4) and (2,-2)

Find the complete table in attached file.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Incomplete table in attached file

Given:

A car travels 55 miles per hour for 2 hours.

So the speed of the car 55 miles per hour is constant for 2 hours.

Using speed formula.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

Second row.

From the second row of the table $time = \frac{1}{2}=0.5\ sec$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find only distance.

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$55=\frac{distance}{0.5}$

$distance = 55\times 0.5$

$distance = 27.5\ mi$

Third row.

From the third row of the table $time =1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\ sec$ and speed is constant $speed = 55\ mi/hr$ , so we need to find only distance.
