We can set up a system of equations.

x + y = 111
0.25x + 0.10y = 18.30

x + y = 111

Subtract 'y' to both sides:

x = -y + 111

Plug in '-y + 111' for 'x' in the 2nd equation:

0.25(-y + 111) + 0.10y = 18.30

Distribute 0.25 into the parenthesis:

-0.25y + 27.75 + 0.10y = 18.30

Combine like terms:

-0.15y + 27.75 = 18.30

Subtract 27.75 to both sides:

-0.15y = -9.45

Divide -0.15 to both sides:

y = 63

Plug this back into any of the two equations to find the 'x' value.

x + y = 111

x + 63 = 111

Subtract 63 to both sides:

x = 48

So there are 48 quarters and 63 dimes.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

96.512 °F < x < 591.242 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Melting point = 35.84 °C

Boiling point = 310.69 °C

Now, we are given that formula to convert °C to °F is;

°C = (5/9)°F

Thus if the temperature in Fahrenheit is x, then;

Melting point is; 35.84 °C = (5/9)x°F - "32"

x = ((9 × 35.84)/5) + 32

x = 96.512 °F

Similarly, for Boiling point;

Boiling point is;

310.69 °C = (5/9)x°F - "32"

x = ((9 × 310.69)/5) + 32

x = 591.242 °F

Now, we are told that matter is in its liquid form when it is between melting and boiling point.

Thus, range of x in inequality form is;

96.512 °F < x < 591.242 °F

Write the equation of a parabola with a vertex and (-5, 2) and a directrix y = -1
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

y=(x+5)²/6 + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to plug in the values you know:

√(y+1)² =√(x+5)² +( y-2)²

the square roots cancel out

(y+1) ²= (x+5)² +(y-2)²

(y+1) (y-1)= (x+5)² + (y-2) (y-2)

y²+2y+1= (x+5)² + y² -4y+4

the y² cancel out

2y+ 4y = (x+5)² + 4-1

6y= (x+5)² +3

y= (x+5)² /6+ 1/3
