Let the number of nickels be = n

Let the number of dimes be = d

Let the number of quarter be = q

Total money William has = $12.80

As given, there are 3 times as many quarters as nickels

q=3n

And 20 more dimes than nickels

d=20+n

As total money is $12.80

0.05n+0.10d+0.25q=12.80

Putting the values of 'q' and 'd' to find 'n'

0.05n+0.10(20+n)+0.25(3n)=12.80

0.05n+2+0.10n+0.75n=12.80

0.90n+2=12.80

0.90n=10.80

n=12

Hence the number of nickels are = 12

If you want to also find dime and quarter, then

q=3n=3\times12=36

d=20+n=20+12=32

What is the solution of the system of equations c + 4d = 8 and c = 4d - 6
Tema [17]
Rewrite the second equation in same form as the first So we have

c + 4d = 8

c - 4d = -6     Now add:-

2c + 0 = 2
2c = 2

c = 1  

Now substitute c = 1 in the first equation:-

1 + 4d = 8
4d = 7

d =  7/4  = 1 3/4

Answer c = 1 and d = 1 3/4  Answer

Circle the ratio which is the same as 1 cm represents 2m<br>1:2<br>1:20<br>1:200<br>1:2000​

if the units are centimeter and meter though, then it's

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 100 cm in 1 meter, so 1cm:2m

How do I find x in this triangle?
Scilla [17]
Since the total degree of a triangle is 180, subtract 44 from 180 = 136. Divide it by two, and you get 68. I believe this is correct but don't take my word for it. Good luck!

Find the distance between two points ( -1,1) and (2,-4)
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The distance between two points ( -1,1) and (2,-4) is:

d=\sqrt{34}  or d = 5.8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-1, 1)
  • (2, -4)

Finding the distance between (-1, 1) and (2, -4) using the formula

d=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}

substitute (x₁, y₁) =  (-1, 1)   and  (x₂, y₂) = (2, -4)

   =\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(-4-1\right)^2}

   =\sqrt{\left(2+1\right)^2+\left(-4-1\right)^2}

   =\sqrt{3^2+5^2}

   =\sqrt{9+25}

   =\sqrt{34}  units

or

d = 5.8 units

Therefore, the distance between two points ( -1,1) and (2,-4) is:

d=\sqrt{34}  or d = 5.8 units.
