Answer:

300 dimes and 120 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dimes and y be the number of quarters Travis has. Travis has $60 (6000 cents) in dimes and quarters, then

10x+25y=6000.

If he could switch the numbers of dimes with the number of quarter, he would have y dimes and x quarters. In total this amount of money is $87 (8700 cents), then

10y+25x=8700.

Solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}10x+25y=6000\\ \\10y+25x=8700\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+5y=1200\\ \\2y+5x=1740\end{array}\right..

Multiply the 1st equation by 5, the 2nd equation by 2 and subtract them:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}10x+25y=6000\\ \\10x+4y=3480\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow 21y=2520,\ y=120.

Then

2x+5\cdot 120=1200,\\ \\2x=1200-600,\\ \\2x=600,\\ \\x=300.

Evaluate -8 x |2|.<br> A.-16<br> B.-10<br> C.16<br> D.10
Elis [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

|| represents the absolute value function:

|x| = x when x >= 0,

|x| = -x when x < 0.

Therefore (-8) * |2| = (-8) * 2 = -16. (A)

Consider the given parallelogram KLMN.

Prove: \angle N \cong \angle L, \angle K \cong \angle M

 Statement                                                                       Reason

1. KL \parallel NM, KN \parallel LM               Definition of parallelogram

2. \angle K+ \angle N = 180^\circ                 Same Side interior angle theorem

   \angle L+ \angle M = 180^\circ

  \angle K+ \angle L = 180^\circ

3. \angle K+ \angle N=\angle K+ \angle L   Substitution property

  \angle L+ \angle M=\angle K+ \angle L

4. \angle N = \angle L                                 Subtraction property of equality

  \angle M = \angle K

Subtraction property of equality tells us that if we subtract some number from one side of an equation, we also must subtract from the other side of the equation to keep the equation the same.

5.  \angle N \cong \angle L                         Angle Congruence Postulate

  \angle M \cong \angle K

When two angles are equal, then they are said to be congruent by Angle congruence postulate.

69. The O'Brien's had $400.0 in a special
charle [14.2K]

Hello :D

$40.00 x 3 = $120.00

$20.00 x 2 = $40.00

$120.00 + $40.00 = $160.00

$400.00 - $160.00 = $240.00

There is $240.00 left in the account.
