Answer:

The value of y is y=\frac{42}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

4x+3y=6 -----> equation A

18x+5y=6 -----> equation B

To eliminate the x-variable and find the value of y Multiply the equation A by -18/4 both sides or multiply the equation B by -4/18 both sides

I choice

Multiply the equation A by -18/4 both sides

(-18/4)[4x+3y]=6*(-18/4)

-18x-13.5y=-27 ------> equation C

Adds equation B and equation C

18x+5y=6\\-18x-13.5y=-27\\-------\\5y-13.5y=6-27\\-8.5y=-21\\\\ y=\frac{42}{17}

A collection of nickels, dimes and quarters totals $6.00.  If there are 52 coins altogether and twice as many dimes as nickels,
VashaNatasha [74]
D=2n:  there are twice as many dimes as nickels.

n+d+q=52:  a total of 52 coins, using d from above in this gives you:

n+2n+q=52  combine like terms on left side

3n+q=52  subtract 3n from both sides

q=52-3n

Then you are told that the coins have a total value of $6 which is equal to 600 cents.  So we can say:

25q+10d+5n=600  divide all terms by 5

5q+2d+n=120, and from earlier we saw q=52-3n and d=2n so you have:

5(52-3n)+2(2n)+n=120  expanding...

260-15n+4n+n=120  combining like terms

260-10n=120  subtract 260 from both sides

-10n=-140  divide both sides by -10

n=14, since q=52-3n and d=2n

q=(52-3(14))=52-42=10 

d=2(14)=28

So there are 10 quarters, 28 dimes, and 14 nickels or as your choices put it:

q=10, d=28, n=14  (the correct answer is d.)

WILL MARK! <br> For parallelogram ABCD, find x.
amid [387]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

If the figure is a parallelogram, the opposite sides are the same length

3x+20 = 5x-12

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+20 -3x = 5x-12-3x

20 = 2x-12

Add 12 to each side

20+12 = 2x-12+12

32 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

32/2 = 2x/2

16 =x

Jude has 30 coins of quarters and nickels. The total amount he has is $5.10. How many of each coin does Jude have? Write the sys
Lyrx [107]

Answer: Required system

x+y= 30

0.25x+0.05y=5.10

Jude has 18 quarters and 12 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Number of quarters

y= Number of nickels

As per given,

x+y= 30   (i)

0.25x+0.05y=5.10  (ii)   [1 quarter = $0.25 , 1 nickel = $0.05]

Multiply 0.25 on both sides of equation (i)

0.25x+0.25y= 7.5   (iii)

Eliminate (ii) from (iii) , we get

0.20y=2.4

⇒ y = 12  [divide both sides by 0.20]

Put value of y in (i\), we get

x+12=30

⇒ x= 30-12= 18

Hence, Jude has 18 quarters and 12 nickels.

The Regency Hotel has enough space at its entrance for six taxicabs to line up, wait for guests, and then load passengers. Cabs
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(1) 22.81 minutes

(2) 0.171

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, the values will be:

The service rate of guess will be:

= 5+3.5

= 8.5 \ minutes

The mean arrival rate will be:

\lambda =\frac{60}{5}

  =7.5 \ cabs/hr

The mean service rate will be:

\mu= 7.05 \ cabs/hr

(1)

The average time a cab must wait will be:

⇒ W_q=22.95-\frac{1}{7.05}

⇒       =\frac{161.798-1}{7.05}

⇒       =\frac{160.798}{7.05}

⇒       =22.81 \ minutes

(2)

The required probability will be:

⇒ P(X\geq 6)=\frac{1-2.115}{1-7.5}

⇒                  =\frac{-1.1115}{-6.5}

⇒                  =0.171
