X = number of dimes 
x + 2 = number of nickels
3(x + 2) = number of pennies 

10x + 5(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 52
10x + 5x + 10 + 3x + 6 = 52
18x = 36
x = 2

x = 2 (number of dimes)
x + 2 = 4 (number of nickels)
3(x + 2) = 12 (number of pennies)

Check:
2(10) = 20 cents in dimes
4(5) = 20 cents in nickels
12(1) = 12 cents in pennies
Total = 52 cents

He has d dimes.
He has 2 more nickles than dimes, so he has d + 2 nickles.
He has 3 times as many pennies as nickles. He has 3(d + 2) pennies.

Now we figure out the value of each type of coin in cents.
d dimes are worth 10d cents.
d + 2 nickels are worth 5(d + 2) cents.
3(d + 2) pennies are worth 3(d + 2) cents.

Add all expressions of value and set equal to 52 cents.

10d + 5(d + 2) + 3(d + 2) = 52

10d + 5d + 10 + 3d + 6 = 52

18d + 16 = 52

18d = 36

d = 2

He has 2 dimes.
He has 2 more nickles than dimes, so he has 2 + 2 nickles, or 4 nickles.
<span>He has three times as many pennies as nickels, or 3(4) = 12 pennies.

Answer: 2 dimes, 4 nickles, 12 pennies.

Drag and drop each pair of lines to categorize them as either parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
miss Akunina [59]
Answer:
first box is parallel
Second box perpendicular
Third box neither
Fourth box neither
Fifth box perpendicular
Sixth box is parallel

Why? Slopes of parallel lines are the same. Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals. (Example slope=1/2 a perpendicular line would be -2/1). Neither is just a when it’s not either parallel or perpendicular.

Hope this helps

Which of the following statistics about college graduates is not true?
Crazy boy [7]
The statistic about college graduates which is not true is that C. they can earn nearly double the income of high school graduates.
They cannot earn that much really - even though they have a college degree, there are many jobs that don't require a degree which also pay a lot.

The figure below shows the design of a truss to support the weight of a roof. In this truss design, ∠A⩭∠D and ĀF⩭DF.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

m\angle A= 30^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we're given \angle A\cong \angle D. Therefore, the measure of these two angles must be equal.

To find the value of x, set these two angles equal to each other:

4x-26=x+16

Add 26 and subtract x from both sides:

3x=42

Divide both sides by 3:

x=\frac{42}{3}=14

Since \angle A was labelled as 4x-26, substitute x=14 to find its measure:

\angle A=4(14)-26,\\\angle A=56-26,\\\angle A=\boxed{30^{\circ}}

You can also substitute x=14 into the label of angle D as angle A is congruent to angle D for easier calculations (14+16=\boxed{30^{\circ}}).
