Hey :)

<span>Lets n be the number of nickels Sue has. Then the number of dimes is equal to (16-n). So, Sue has 5*n cents in nickels and 10*(16-n) cents in dimes. Since the total amount Sue has is $1.15, or 115 cents, it gives you an equation 5n + 10*(16-n) = 115.

Simplify this equation: 5n +160-10n = 115 (after opening parentheses) -5n = 115-160 (after collecting like terms at the left side and moving 160 to the right side with the opposite sign) -5n = -45 (after collecting like terms at the right side) n = 9 (after dividing both sides by -5). So, the number of nickels is equal to 9. The number of dimes is equal to 16 minus the number of nickels, that is 16-n = 16-9 = 7.

Check. The total number of coins is equal to 9 + 7 = 16. The total amount is equal to 9*5 + 7*10 = 45 + 70 = 115. The solution is correct.

Answer. Sue has 9 nickels and 7 dimes.

Hope this helps! :)</span>

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given algebraic expression: 6x^3y+7x^2+5x+46x3y+7x2+5x+4

We know that the constants are the terms in the algebraic expression that contain only numbers.  

In the given expression only last term has only numerical value and no variable, rest of them have variable x.

Therefore, the constant term in the given algebraic expression  6x^3y+7x^2+5x+46x3y+7x2+5x+4 is

13/2 divided by 3/4
Juliette [100K]

Answer: 26/3

Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change

the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 13/2 ÷ 3/4 means the same thing as 13/2 · 4/3.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply

by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Next we cross-cancel.

4 and 2 reduce to 2 and 1.

Multiplying across the numerator and denominators we have 26/3.

which equation can replace 3x 5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution? 2x – y = –4 10x – 5y = –20 7x
natka813 [3]
From my research, the original system of equations contain the following equations:

<span>2x − y = −4 
3x + 5y = 59

where obtained solution is x = 3

Among the choices, it is easier to substitute </span><span>3x + 5y = 59 with one of the choices to see if they yield the same solution set. From trial-and-error, the equation that can replace the original equation is " 13x = 39 ". Among the choices, it is the 4th choice.</span>

What is the diameter of a circle with a circumference of 220 ft
tino4ka555 [31]

Circumference of the circle is given as = 220 feet

We have to find the diameter.

Circumference is found as = 2 * PI * r

220=2*3.14*r

220=6.28r

r=35.03

Diameter is 2*radius

Diameter = 2\times35.03 = 70.06

Hence, diameter of the circle is 70.06 feet.
