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

Step-by-step explanation:

A real interest rate is an interest rate that has been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation to reflect the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or to an investor. A nominal interest rate refers to the interest rate before taking inflation into account.

PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!In two or more complete sentences explain how you would set up and solve the following eq
olchik [2.2K]

Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:

Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.

Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.

Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.

11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high.  11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!

It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.

Usain Bolt of Jamaica set a world record in 2009 for the 200- meter dash with a time of 19.19 seconds. What was his average spee
kirill [66]

Answer:

His average speed was of 10.42 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the following relation to solve this question:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In which v is the velocity(in m/s), d is the distance(in meters), and t is the time, in seconds.

Usain Bolt of Jamaica set a world record in 2009 for the 200- meter dash with a time of 19.19 seconds.

This means that d = 200, t = 19.19

So his average speed was of:

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{200}{19.19} = 10.42

His average speed was of 10.42 m/s
