The value of the coin times the number of coins all added up equals the total value of the piggy bank
so
0.05n + 0.10d = 5.60

then they have given us "number of nickels is 8 less than 3 times the dimes"
this translates to
n = 3d - 8

we plug this into our first equation and we get
0.05(3d - 8) + 0.10d = 5.60

now we solve for d
first we can distribute the 0.05
0.15d - 0.40 + 0.10d = 5.60

then we can add the 0.15d and 0.10d together
and get
0.25d - 0.40 = 5.60

then we can add 0.40 to both sides
0.25d = 6.00

then divide both sides by 0.25
d = 6.00 / 0.25 = 24
so we have 24 dimes


then to find nickels, we plug in 24 for d into
n = 3d - 8
and get
n = 3(24) - 8
n = 72 - 8
n = 64

therefore we have
64 nickels
and
24 dimes

8.45 At some point in the season, the Unicorns had won 60% of their basketball games. After that point, they won 8 more games an
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The total number of games won by Unicorn is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We are given with a word problem
  • We are asked to find the number of unicorns played during the season
  • We can do this in two steps

         Step 1: Finding the win percentage

         Step 2: Finding the number of unicorns played during the season

Step 1 of 2

Let the number of games played by unicorn be x.The unicorn won 60% of the first x-10 games That is $\frac{60}{100} \times(x-10)$

Combining the 8 games we get,

$$\begin{gathered}\frac{60}{100}(x-10)+8=\frac{60}{100} \times x-\frac{60}{100} \times 10+8 \\0.6 x-6+8=0.6 x+2\end{gathered}$$

Step 2 of 2

The unicorn totally won 65% of the games played.

That is $\frac{65}{100} \times x=0.65 x$

Equating both the equation gives

$$\begin{gathered}0.6 x+2=0.65 x \\2=0.65 x-0.6 x \\2=0.05 x \\\frac{2}{0.05}=x \\40=x\end{gathered}$$

The total stopping distance T for a vehicle is T = 2.5x + 0.5x 2 , where T is in feet and x is the speed in miles per hour. Appr
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

%  change in stopping distance = 7.34 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The stooping distance is given by

T = 2.5 x + 0.5 x^{2}

We will approximate this distance  using the relation

f (x + dx) = f (x)+ f' (x)dx

dx = 26 - 25 = 1

T' =  2.5 + x

Therefore

f(x)+f'(x)dx = 2.5x+ 0.5x^{2} + 2.5 +x

This is the stopping distance at x = 25

Put x = 25 in above equation

2.5 × (25) + 0.5× 25^{2} + 2.5 + 25 = 402.5 ft

Stopping distance at x = 25

T(25) = 2.5 × (25) + 0.5 × 25^{2}

T(25) = 375 ft

Therefore approximate change in stopping distance = 402.5 - 375 = 27.5 ft

%  change in stopping distance = \frac{27.5}{375} × 100

%  change in stopping distance = 7.34 %

What logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation e^a=28.37
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a=ln(28.37)

Step-by-step explanation:

e^a=28.37

Take ln both sides

ln(e^a)=ln(28.37)

a=ln(28.37)
