Answer:

18 Nickels, 6 Quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let's build a system of equations to find the number of nickels and dimes you have.  Let N represent the number of nickels and Q represent the number of quarters you have.

The first equation, you have 3 times as many nickels as quarters:

N = 3Q

The second equation, you have a total of $2.40.  Given we know nickels are $0.05 and quarters are $0.25:

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

Now, let's use the two equations to find the number nickels and quarters you have.

N = 3Q

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.05(3Q) + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.15Q + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.4Q = 2.40

Q = 6

Now, let's plug the value back into the equation:

N = 3Q

N = 3(6)

N = 18

And we can verify these values with the second equation:

0.05N + 0.25Q = 2.40

0.05(18) + 0.25(6) ?= 2.40

0.90 + 1.50 ?= 2.40

2.40 == 2.40

Therefore, we have found and verified the amount of Nickels and Quarters you have.

Cheers.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, 4) and (4, −1)?
Igoryamba
Note:
The slope of a straight line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is 
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

The two given points are (-3,4) and (4,-1). Therefore the slope is
m= \frac{-1-4}{4-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{7}

Answer: - \frac{5}{7}

Convert 153 degrees into radians to the nearest to decimals places
STatiana [176]
Since we know there are π radians in 180°, then how many radians are there in 153°?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
radians&de grees\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\pi &180\\
x&153
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\pi }{x}=\cfrac{180}{153}\implies \cfrac{\pi \cdot 153}{180}=x\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{17\pi }{20}}=x
