Answer:

Lulu has 14 quarters and 6 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dimes and y the number of quarters. The sum of quarters and dime is 20 coins. Then:

x + y = 20

We also know that the value of each dime is $ 0.10 and the value of each quarter is $0.25. The total value of the coins is $4.10. Then, the number of dimes times 0.10 plus the number of quarters times 0.25 will be 4.10:

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.10

So, we have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns:

x + y = 20

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.10

Let´s solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 20

subtract x from both sides

y = 20 - x

And now let´s replace y in the second equation:

0.10x + 0.25(20 - x) = 4.10

Apply distributive property

0.10x + 5 - 0.25x = 4.10

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

-0.15x = -0.9

Divide by -0.15 both sides of the equation

x = 6

Now let´s calculate y:

y = 20 - x

y = 20 - 6 = 14

Lulu has 14 quarters and 6 dimes

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression?<br> (3m-4) (375)
Brilliant_brown [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D.  81/m^7

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (ab)^c = (a^c)(b^c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  a^-b = 1/a^b

__

Using these, your expression simplifies to ...

  (3m^{-4})^3(3m^5)=(3^3)(3)(m^{-4\cdot3+5})=81m^{-7}=\boxed{\dfrac{81}{m^7}}

I need help :( please
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

I think it is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Its saying that f of x is four times x. So if x was one it could be four. But if x was greater than one it would be higher than one. Therefore, I think that the answer should be all real numbers greater than or equal to four.

Hope this helped!!! Let me know if I was correct. Haven't done this in years.
