A) N + D = 30
B) .05N + .1D = 2.20

Multiplying equation A by -.05
A) -.05N  -.05D = -1.50 then adding it to B
B) .05N + .1D = 2.20
.05D = .70
Dimes = 14

Nickels = 30 -14 = 16

Answer:

The number of nickels are 16 and the number of dimes are 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Let n represent the number of nickels.

let d represent the number of dimes.

As given

Luis is saving money to purchase a new video game.

He has a total of 30 coins consisting of nickels and dimes.

Than the equation becomes

n + d = 30

As the value of the coins is $2.20.

As 1 nickel = 0.05 dollars

    1 dimes = 0.1 dollars

Than the equation becomes

0.05n + 0.1d = 2.20

Simplify the above

\frac{5n}{100} +\frac{d}{10} = \frac{220}{100}

L.C.M of (10,100) = 100

Than

5n + 10d = 220

Than two equations are

n + d = 30 and 5n + 10d = 220

Multiply n + d = 30 by 5 and subtracted from  5n + 10d = 220 .

5n - 5n + 10d - 5d = 220 - 150

5d = 70

d = \frac{70}{5}

d = 14

Put in the equation n + d = 30

n + 14 = 30

n = 30 - 14

n = 16

Therefore the number of nickels are 16 and the number of dimes are 14.

Q5: The probability that event A occurs is 5/7 and the probability that event B occurs is 2/3 . If A and B are independent event
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

P(A \cap B)

And we can use the following formula:

P(A \cap B)= P(A)* P(B)

And replacing the info we got:

P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{7} \frac{2}{3}= \frac{10}{21}=0.476

Step-by-step explanation:

We define two events for this case A and B. And we know the probability for each individual event given by the problem:

p(A) = \frac{5}{7}

p(B) = \frac{2}{3}

And we want to find the probability that A and B both occurs if A and B are independent events, who menas the following conditions:

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(B|A) = P(B)

And for this special case we want to find this probability:

P(A \cap B)

And we can use the following formula:

P(A \cap B)= P(A)* P(B)

And replacing the info we got:

P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{7} \frac{2}{3}= \frac{10}{21}=0.476

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram R S T U has points (negative 4, 4), (2, 6), (6, 2), and (0, 0). What is the area of paralle
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is;

32 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The coordinates of the parallelogram RSTU = R(-4, 4), S(2, 6), T(6, 2), and U(0, 0)

We note that the area of a parallelogram = Base length × Height

From the drawing of the parallelogram RSTU, we have;

The base length = The length of \overline {TU} = The length of \overline {SR} = √((2 - (-4))² + (6 - 4)²) = 2·√10

The height of a parallelogram is perpendicular to its base length = The line \overline {VT}

∴ Where, the slope of the base length = m, the slope of the height = -1/m

The slope, 'm' of \overline {SR} = (6 - 4)/(2 - (-4)) = 1/3

Therefore, the slope of the height = -1/(1/3) = -3

We note that a point on the height is the point 'T', therefore, the equation of the line in point and slope form is therefore;

y - 0 = -3·(x - 0)

∴ y = -3·x

Therefore, the coordinates of the point 'V' is given by the simultaneous solution of the equations of \overline {SR} and \overline {VT}

The equation of the line \overline {SR} in point and slope form from the point 'R' and the slope 'm = 1/3' is given as follows;

y - 4 = (1/3) × (x - (-4)) = (1/3) × (x + 4)

y = x/3 + 4/3 + 4 = x/3 + 16/3

y = x/3 + 16/3

We then have the coordinate at the point 'V' (x, y) is given as follows;

-3·x = x/3 + 16/3

-9·x = x + 16

-10·x = 16

x = -16/10 = -1.6

x = -1.6

∴ y = -3·x = -3 × -1.6 = -4.8

y = 4.8

The coordinate at the point, V = (-1.6, 4.8)

The length of the line \overline {VT} = The height of the parallelogram = √((-1.6 - 0)² + (4.8 - 0)²) = 8/5·√10

The height of the parallelogram = 8/5·√10

The area of the parallelogram, A = Base length × Height

∴ A = 2·√(10) × 8/5·√(10) = (16/5) × 10 = 32

The area of the parallelogram, A =  32 square units.

Which is equivalent to 256 Superscript three-fourths? 4 12 64 192
Vaselesa [24]

Answer: 64

Step-by-step explanation:

256 is thesame thing as 2 raise to power of 8.

We then multiply 2 raise to power 8 by the power of 3/4. We will then be left with 2 raise to power 6.

2 raise to power 6 equals:

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 64
