6 bills in the deposit were $10 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of bills he gave the teller = 24 bills

x + y = 24 ------------(1)

Let,

x be the number of $5 bills.

y be the number of $10 bills.

The total bank deposit made using $5 and $10 bills are $150.

He deposits $5 bills and $10 bills. So, the equation can be framed as :

5x + 10y = 150 --------(2)

The question is asked for how many $10 bills were in the deposit,

Here 'y' is the number of $10 bills.

To solve for y value :

The eq(1) must be multiplied by 5 and subtract eq(2) from eq(1),

5x + 5y = 120

-(5x + 10y = 150)

-5y = -30

⇒ y = 30/5

⇒ y = 6

Therefore, there were 6 bills in the deposit that are $10 bills.

What fraction of 1 pint is 1 cup

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The answer is that the fraction of 1/2 pint is 1 cup. To solve this you must know the equivalence between pints and cups, and use the notion of proportions. Two cups equal one pint. Then you can state this proportion: 1 pint / 2 cups = x pint / 1 cup. When you solve for x you get: x = 1/2. Which means that 1 cup is 1/2 of 1 pint.

Please Help! (Math)(tanβ)

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Find the missing side first.

x = $\sqrt{12^2 - 7^2} = \sqrt{144 - 49} = \sqrt{ 95}$

1) tangent = opposite leg / adjacent leg

tanβ = √95/7
Correct choice is B

2) sine = opposite leg / hypotenuse

sinβ = √95/12
Correct choice is D

Find an equation of the line passing through the pair of points. Write the equation in the form Ax +By = C.

Alexxandr [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

5x -y = -37

Additional comment

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

$\dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\\Delta x(y-y_1)=\Delta y(x-x_1)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\Delta y(x-x_1)-\Delta x(y-y_1)=0\qquad\text{subtract y term}\\\\\Delta y(x) -\Delta x(y) = \Delta y(x_1)-\Delta x(y_1)\qquad\text{Ax+By=C form}$

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.
