Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 2 coins and y be the number of 5 coins. Let z be the number of 10 coins she exchanged. Then, we have the first equation

2x+5y = 10z

Since she has one 5 coin less than 2 coins, then y=x-1. So we get the equation

2x+5(x-1) = 10z

which is equivalent to

7x-5 = 10z

If we add 5 on both sides and factor out on the right by 5 we get

7x = 5(2z+1)

We can solve for x and get

x = \frac{5(2z+1)}{7}

Since x represents the number of 2 coins, we must have that x is an integer. That is, we cannot have, for example 1.5 2 coins. Since 7 doesn't divide 5, we must have that 7 divides 2z+1. That is, the value of z is such that the number 2z+1 is multiple of 7. That is 2z+1 = 7p where p is an integer.

If that is the case, then

x = 5p, then y = 5p-1. By having 2z+1 = 7p, we are forcing that p is an odd integer, so we have infinite solutions. For each value of p that is an odd integer, then x=5p and y=5p-1 is a solution to the problem

<span>Volume of a square = (s)(s)(s) and s=5a+4b Therefore: (5a+4b)(5a+4b)(5a+4b)= (25a^2+40ab+16b^2)(5a+4b)= (125a^3+200a^2b+80ab^2+100a^2b+160ab^2+64b^3)= (125a^3+300a^2b+240ab^2+64b^3) You just multiple the first time the second and then do so again with the combination of the first two times the second. A little cleaning up and you are left with an equation in terms of a and b.</span>

The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different answers, all with the same area but different dimensions.
Here are a few:
1 ft by 864 ft
2 ft by 432 ft
3 ft by 288 ft
4 ft by 216 ft
8 ft by 108 ft
16 ft by 54 ft
24 ft by 36 ft
27 ft by 32 ft.

The area of each of these is 864 square feet.
