Let number of  fives = x then number of ones = 3x  and number of tens = x - 1

so we can create the equation 

x + 3x +  x-1 + y = 26  where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27

also we have the equation 

5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120

18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x    + y    = 27     multiply  by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x  = 5,  that is  5 fives

Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y =  40
y =  2 ,   that is 2 twenties

So the answer is   there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5  fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties

Please help with this!!! Im so confused, I will mark brainliest if right!! Explain

Answer: Yes these triangles are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets write down what we know just to make life easier

x=9

TL should be similar to CH

LY should be similar to KH

The angles should be equal due to SAS

So the first thing we know is true is the fact that they have equal angles. Now we have to find out if the sides are similar or if they change by the same ratio to the other. If TL is similar to CH and TL=25  and CH=10 what is the change in size or dilation. Division should do the trick so 25/10=2.5 so TY is greater than CH by a factor of 10. Which means that LY should also be greater than KH by a factor of 2.5. If we are told that x=9 than side LY or 4(9)-1=35 and KH 9+5=14

So side KH is 14 and LY is 35. Now to check if they are similar then KH should be greater by a factor of 2.5. If this is not true than the sides are not similar.  35/2.5=14

Since 35 divided by 2.5 is 14 we can tell both sides TL and LY are greater than KH and CH by a factor of 2.5

Hope this helps.

A science experiment calls for a mixture of 400 mL of liquid A, 2.5 L of liquid B, 650 mL of liquid C, and 1 L of liquid D. Whic
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

5L.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there are 1000 mL in an L so .4 + 2.5 + .65 + 1 = 4.55 which is then rounded up to 5L.

What are the possible values for x in the equation 4x^2=64
Degger [83]

                                  <u> 4 x²  =  64</u>

Divide each side by  4 :     x² = 16

Take the square root
of each side:                     x = √16

                                   x = <em>+ 4</em>
and
                                   x = <em>- 4</em> .

What is the square root of -1?
Alchen [17]

Answer: √−1=i.

Step-by-step explanation: When we say that the square root of a negative number "doesn't exist", we mean that there is no real number solution. However, if we consider complex numbers, we then get a solution to √−1=i.
