<span>Let x = be the number of dimes and y = number of quarters. 

Since the total number of coins is 100, x + y = 100. 

Since the total is cent value is 19.75, comprised of .10 for dimes and .25 for quarters, we have .10x + .25y = 19.75. 

This is just a system of equations. Solve one of the dozen ways that work for solving systems of linear equations. 

Using substitution: 

x = 100 - y 

Plug this into the other equation 

.10 (100 - y) + .25 y = 19.75 

10 - .10 y + .25 y = 19.75 

10 + .15y = 19.75 

.15 y = 9.75 

y = 65 

So there are 65 quarters. Since x + y = 100, there must be 35 dimes.</span><span>Hope This Helps</span>

D = no. of dimes
q = no. of quarters

$total equation
.10d + .25q = 19.75

No. of coins equation
d + q = 100
d = (100-q)

Replace d
with (100-q) in the $total equation
.10(100-q) + .25q = 19.75
10 - .10q + .25q = 19.75


10.15 q = 9.75
q = 
q = 65 quarters

100 - 65 =

35 dimes.

X=7^y how can you rewrite this equation in y = form ?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

y = lnx / ln 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 7^y

Take logarithms of both sides:

ln x = ln 7^y

ln x = y ln 7     ( because ln a^b = b ln a.   One of the Laws of Logarithms).

y = lnx / ln 7.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4164.69504π

Step-by-step explanation:

So the volume of a cone is πr^2 * h / 3

r = 15.072 / π

h = 55

15.072 / π squared * π = 227.165184π

227.165184π * 55 / 3 = 4164.69504π

Anvisha [2.4K]
We know that

in the triangle ABC
∡A+∡B+∡C=180°
∡C=180-(50+100)-------> ∡C=30°

triangle ABC and triangle XYZ are similar
so
∡X=∡A
∡Y=∡B
∡Z=∡C
hence
∡Z=30°

the answer is
∡Z=30°
