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>

Here is the histogram of a data distribution. What is the shape of this distribution.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Hey there!

I think your answer would be unimodal skewed. This graph only has one maxima, thus it can't be bimodal. However, it's not symmetric, meaning that it is skewed.

Hope this helps :)

puteri [66]
C = 5(F-32)/9      Multiply each side by 9
9C = 5(F-32)       Distribute
9C = 5F - 160     Add 160 to each side
9C + 160 = 5F     Divide each side by 5
9/5C + 32 = F
