Sue has $2.20 in dimes and nickels. If she has 13 more dimes than nickels, how many of each coin does she have?

1 answer:

4 0

10d+5n=220
divide both sides by 5
2d+n=44

d=13+n
sub 13+n for d in other equatin

2(13+n)+n=44
26+2n+n=44
26+3n=44
minus 26 both sides
3n=18
divide both sides by 3
n=6
sub back

d=13+n
d=13+6
d=19

19 dimes
6 nickles

What are the properties of an obtuse triangle

coldgirl [10]

An obtuse triangle will have one and only one obtuse angle.

The other two angles are acute angles.

The sum of the two angles other than the obtuse angle is less than 90º.

The side opposite to the obtuse angle is the longest side of the triangle.

The points of concurrency, the Circumcenter and the Orthocenter lie outside of an obtuse triangle, while Centroid and Incenter lie inside the triangle.

How many three-digit phone prefixes that are used to represent a particular geographic area are possible that have no 0 or 1 in

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The number of possible three-digit phone prefixes that are used to represent a particular geographic area is 640.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phone prefixes used to represent a particular geographic area are a 3 digit code consisting of numbers from 0 to 9.

The prefix code are of the form: x x x

Condition: The first or the second place cannot take values 0 or 1.

Then the first place can be occupied by the remaining 8 digits.

Similarly the second place can also be occupied by the remaining 8 digits.

And the third place can be occupied by any of the 10 digits.

So the number of ways to construct a phone prefix for any area is:

$Possible\ number\ of\ phone\ prefixes=8\times8\times10=640$

Thus, the number of phone prefixes possible for any area is 640.
