Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of half dollars 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.

  • h+q=31 is an equation representing the total number of coins
  • 0.50h+0.25q=11 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.50 and 0.25 come from the value of a half dollar and quarter individually.

We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get h=31-q. We now substitute this for h in the second equation.

0.50(31-q)+0.25q=11

15.5-0.50q+0.25q=11

15.5-0.25q=11

After simplifying, we subtract 15.5 across and divide by the coefficient of q.

-0.25q=-4.5

q=4

We now know of the 31 coins that 4 are quarters.

WORTH 100 POINTS!!! PLEASE HELP
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Graph the triangle at points (1,5), (1,8), and (6,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rule is (x,y) -> (y,x), that just means swapping the value of x and y.

The first point (5,1) has 5 for x and 1 for y. If you swap the values, you get 1 for x and 5 for y, or (1,5).

The second point is (8,6). If you swap x and y you get (6,8). Notice I'm not doing the inverse of each number by making them negative, just swapping the twp values.

The third point is (8,1) and if you swap x and y you should get (1,8).

The transformation rule applies to ALL points, otherwise it wouldn't look right and it wouldnt be transforming.

I hope this helps :)

The sum of three numbers is 8. The first number minus the second plus the third is 4. The first minus the third is 2 more than t
Whitepunk [10]

Your numbers will be 3+2+3=8

If you try the hint, the first number minus the 2nd plus the third is 4 then: 3-2+3=4

Answer: 3+2+3=8
