Answer:

24 quarters and 49 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of nickels and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.

  • n+q=73 is an equation representing the total number of coins
  • 0.05n+0.25q=8.45 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.05 and 0.25 come from the value of a nickel and quarter individually.

We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get n=73-q. We now substitute this for n in the second equation.

0.05(73-q)+0.25q=8.45

3.65-0.05q+0.25q=8.45

3.65+0.20q=8.45

After simplifying, we subtract 3.65 across and divide by the coefficient of q.

0.20q=4.8

q=24

We now know of the 73 coins that 24 are quarters. To find the number of nickels, we subtract 24 from 73 and get 49 nickels.

Maya spent her allowance on playing an arcade game a few times and riding the Ferris wheel more than once.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Sample Response: To write a two-variable equation, I would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, I would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. I could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. My variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation I could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.

#11 and #13 geometry help please help need work shown as well !!
Trava [24]

Answer: In diagram (11) X = 30 degrees and Y = 60 degrees

In diagram (13) X = 20.55 degrees and Y = 69.45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: What we have are two right angled triangles with two sides given in each case, therefore we can calculate the two unknown angles (since the third angle equals 90 degrees).

For the second triangle (number 13) we shall use Y as the reference angle. That means we have an opposite (the side facing the reference angle) which is 24 and we have an adjacent (the side that lies between the right angle and the reference angle) which is 9. Hence,

Tan Y = opposite/adjacent

Tan Y = 24/9

Tan Y = 2.6667

Checking with your calculator or table of values, 2.6667 = 69.45

Having two angles, which are 90 and 69.45, the third angle X can be computed as

X = 180 - (90 + 69.45)

Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180

X = 180 - 159.45

X = 20.55 and Y = 69.45

For the first triangle (number 11) we shall use X as the reference angle. We have two sides, the opposite (the side facing the reference angle) which is 3, and the hypotenuse (side facing the right angle) which is 6. Hence,

Sin X = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin X = 3/6

Sin X = 0.5000

Checking with your calculator or table of values,

X = 30 degrees.

Also, now that we have two angles we can easily compute the third angle as follows

Y = 180 - (90 + 30)

Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180

Y = 180 - 120

Y = 60

X = 30 and Y = 60
