Keywords:

<em>Coins, nickels, quarters, equation, variables </em>

For this case, we have 36 coins that represent 6 dollars. In addition, said coins are nickels and quarters. We must find an equation that can be used to find the number of nickels Alexandra has, of the 36 coins. For this, we must define two variables:

  • n: Represents the number of nickels Alexandra has
  • q: Represents the number of quarters Alexandra has

We know that:

1\ nickel = 0.05\ dollars\\1\ quarter = 0.25\ dollars

Thus, we have the following system of equations:

0.05n + 0.25q = 6 (1)\\n + q = 36 (2)

We clear "q" from the equation (2):

q = 36-n

We substitute "q" in equation (1):

0.05n + 0.25 (36-n) = 6\\0.05n + 0.25 * 36-0.25n = 6\\0.05n + 9-0.25n = 6\\-0.20n + 9 = 6

Thus, the equation that can be used to find the number of nickels Alexandra has is: -0.20n + 9 = 6

Answer:

The equation that can be used to find the number of nickels Alexandra has is: -0.20n + 9 = 6

If L, M and N are midpoints of the sides of PQR, PR = 46, PQ = 40, and LN=17, find each measure
Serga [27]

Check the picture below.

let's recall that the midsegment of a triangle is the segment that's half-way to both endsides and is at the same time parallel to the 3rd side, is also half the length of the parallel side, so-called the base.

so, for example, we know L, M and N are midpoints to each segment, that means that LM is a midsegment and parallel to PR and also half the length of PR, same is true for LN and MN.

Answer:

(-2, 3)  

Step-by-step explanation:

A is translated from (5, 1) to A' at (6, -2).

That is, it moves <em>one unit to the right and three units down</em>.

B is also translated to B' one unit to the right and three units down to (-1, 0).

B must be <em>one unit to the left and three units above B'</em>.

Thus, the coordinates of B are (-2, 3).

The diagram below shows the translation of side AB of ∆ABC to its new location at A'B'.
