25q + 10d = 425
q + d = 20
First thing's first, picture 4 quarters. Do you know how much these 4 quarters are worth? Obviously, you'd answer one dollar, but take the time to think about how exactly you came up with this answer.
"Well, it's simple," you might think, "Multiply 0.25 by 4."
Similar to this train of thought, the first equation is formulated by doing exactly that. 'q' represents an unknown number of quarters, and 'd' an unknown number of dimes. We use 25q and 10d, because, well, we're multiplying their value by the number of coins. They're equivalent to 425 because the 20 unknown coins make $4.25 (I converted it to cents to get rid of the pesky decimals, but if you want to keep it as dollars that works too).
Because the equation states that there are 20 coins in total, we know that we can make the equation 'q + d = 20' since there are 20 quarters and dimes in total.
Let me know if you need any further explanation :)

Answer:
-1/8
Step-by-step explanation.
125 x 8 = 1000
.125 x 8 = 1
-.125 x 8 = -1
-1/8
Answer:
3. A; 4. C; 5. D; 6. D
Step-by-step explanation:
3. By Pythagorean theorem, x^2=100-64=36, x=6
4. By Pythagorean theorem, x^2=81-36=25, x=5
5. Since the triangle is an isosceles, the other side is 4, so the hypotenuse is 4
. (the ratio is 1:1: by Pythagorean theorem)
6. Like Question #5, the ratio is 1:1: since it is an isosceles triangle, the leg is 8.
Notice that x+4 is one of the denominators, and that x(x+4) is the LCD.
x
Thus, mult. ------- by x(x+4), obtaining x^2.
x+4
Next, mult. [ 1/x + 1/(x+4) by x(x+4), obtaining x+4 + x = 2x+4 or 2(x+4)
x^2
Then the simplified fraction becomes ----------
2(x+4)
Generally Brainly allows you to post only 1 or 2 questions at a time. I will do #15 as a courtesy to you, but want you to try #16 yourself (or to post it separately).
-4, 2, 8, 14, ... is an arithm. seq. Every new term is equal to the previous term, plus 6: -4+6 = 2; 2+6=8, and so on. Thus: first term is a = -4; common difference is d = 6
a(50) = a(1) + (50-1)(6), or a(50) = -4 + (49)(6) = 290 (answer)
