A total of 20 quarters and nickels add up to $4.00. How many nickels are there?

Answer:

5 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

You can setup and solve a system of equations, or you can solve by trial and error until you get the correct answer.

Here is the solution by trial and error.

If all 20 coins are quarters, the value is 20 * $0.25 = $5

That is too much value.

Let's try 16 quarters. 16 quarters are worth 16 * $0.25 = $4.

That is the correct value, but it is only with quarters, and only 16 of them.

We need fewer quarters than 16.

Try 12 quarters: 12 * $0.25 = $3.00

The number of nickels is: 20 - 12 = 8

8 nickels are worth 8 * $0.05 = $0.40

12 quarters and 8 nickels are worth $3.00 + $0.40 = $3.40

There are 20 coins, but the value is too low.

The number of quarters is between 12 and 16.

Try 14 quarters and 6 nickels:

14 * $0.25 + 6 * $0.05 = $3.50 + $0.30 = $3.80

We are closer to $4 but not there yet.

Try 15 quarters and 5 nickels.

15 * $0.25 + 5 * $0.05 = $3.75 + $0.25 = $4

The total value is $4 and there are 20 coins. This is the answer.

15 quarters and 5 nickels works.

Answer: 5 nickels

If line GH is perpendicular to line HJ, then GJ is ____ HJ.
valentinak56 [21]

Option A: >

Solution:

Given a triangle GHJ.

The line GH is perpendicular to line HJ.

This means the triangle is a right angled triangle.

In ΔGHJ, GH is the base of the triangle and

HJ is a height of the triangle.

Then the third side must be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

We know that by the Pythagoras theorem,

(\text {Hypotenuse})^2=(\text{Base})^2+(\text{Height})^2

(\text {GJ})^2=(\text {GH})^2+(\text {HJ})^2

This clearly shows that the hypotenuse is greater than the height.

⇒ GJ > HJ

Option A: > is the correct answer.

If line GH is perpendicular to line HJ, then GJ is > HJ.

Which region represents the solution to the given system of inequalities?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: The intersection region shown in the graph attached is the solution of the system of inequalities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

 Given the following system of inequalities:

\left \{ {{x+3y\leq-3 } \atop {x\geq3 }} \right.

We need to graph the lines.

We have the line:

x+3y=-3

Solving for "y", we get:

3y=-x-3\\\\y=\frac{1}{3}x-1

Knowing that m=-\frac{1}{3} and b=-1, we can graph it.

Since the symbol is \leq, the line must be solid.

The other line is:

x=3

Since "x" only takes one value, we can identify that it is a vertical line, so we can graph it.

Since the symbol is \geq, the line must be solid.

We need to substitute a point that is not on the line, into each inequalities. Let's choose the point (0,0).

Then:

0+3(0)\leq-3\\\\0\leq-3

This is false, therefore, we must shade the half that does not contain this point.

0\geq 3

This is false, so we must shade the half that does not contain this point.

The intersection region of the solutions (Observe the graph attached) of the given inequalities is the solution of the system of inequalities.

Ber [7]

Answer:

The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,

(Monday) 90 = 15m + b

(Tuesday) 62 = 8m + b

where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30.

The equation that represents Mary's earning is

y = 4x + 30

For 20 students,

y = 4(20) + 30 = 110

For Lisa's earnings,

y = 8x + 15

Substituting 20,

y =8(20) + 15 = 175

Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

(Btw this is not my work, I got it from someone else on brainly and wanted to help lol)
