Answer:
C, (x = 100, y = 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
hi again,
(2x - 70) = (x + 30), by the Alternate Exterior Angles
x - 70 = 30
<em>x = 100</em>
<em />
(2x - 70) + 5y = 180, by the Linear Pair Theorem
2(100) - 70 + 5y = 180
200 - 70 + 5y = 180
130 + 5y = 180
5y = 50
<em>y = 10</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the number of quarters (the higher-value coin). Then 8-q is the number of dimes, and Jill's total amount in change is ...
0.25q +0.10(8-q) = 1.25
0.15q + 0.80 = 1.25 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
0.15q = 0.45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80
q = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15
the number of dimes is 8-q = 8-3 = 5.
Jill has 3 quarters and 5 dimes.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.
===========
This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
