Answer:

9 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Jesse has $3.40 in quarters and nickels

Quarters = q = number of quarters

1 quarter = $0.25

nickels = n = number of nickels

1 nickel = $0.05

Hence,

0.25q + 0.05n = $3.40 .......Equation 1

The number of nickels is 5 more than 2 times the number of quarters.

n = 2q + 5

0.25q + 0.05n = $3.40 .......Equation 1

0.25q + 0.05(2q + 5) = 3.40

0.25q + 0.10q + 0.25= 3.40

0.35q = 3.40 - 0.25

0.35q = 3.15

q = 3.15/0.35

q = 9

Therefore, Jessie has 9 quarters.

Answer:

3/13

Step-by-step explanation:

8/13 subtract by 5/13. If the denominator is the same, you keep it, don't change it. Just subtract the numerator.

Make sure to simplify, if it is already simplified that will be the answer.

Identify the ordered pair that represents the vector from A(-8,-1) to B(-5,3) and the magnitude of vector AB.
wel
In order to find the vector that points from A to B we need to subtract each component of A from the corresponding component of B, according to the formula: v(a→b)=(b1−a1,b2−a2) In this case we have : v(a→b)=(−5−(−8),3−(−1)) <span>v(a→b)=(3,4)

</span>To find the magnitude we use the formula: ||v|=  √(v1^2)+(v1^2)

So:
||v|= √(32)+(42) ||v|=  √9+16 ||v|= <span>√</span>25  ||v|= 5

Circles M and K are congruent and QR is congruent to LN. Find QR
ddd [48]

At first, we need to find x.

QR = LN

2x+1 = 3x-7

x=8

Substitute value of a=8 into QR = 2x+1.

QR = 2*8+1 = 17

QR =17
