Equilateral: "equal"-lateral (lateral means side) so they have all equal sides. Isosceles: means "equal legs", and we have two legs, right? Also iSOSceles has two equal "Sides" joined by an "Odd" side. Scalene: means "uneven" or "odd", so no equal sides.

Sarah has a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters worth $28.75. She has 10 more dimes than nickels and twice as many quarte

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for each statement:

"Sarah has a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters worth $15.75."

.05n + .1d + .25q = 15.75

"She has 10 more dimes than nickels"

d = n + 10

"twice as many quarters as dimes."

q = 2d

How many coins of each kind does she have?

Take the 2nd equation and arrange it so n is in terms of d also

n + 10 = d

n = (d - 10)

In the 1st equation substitute (d-10) for n and 2d for q:

.05n + .1d + .25q = 15.75

.05(d-10) + .1d + .25(2d) = 15.75

.05d - .5 + .1d + .5d = 15.75

.65d - .5 = 15.75

.65d = 15.75 + .5

.65d = 16.25

d = 16.25/.65

d = 25 dimes

Remember the statement "twice as many quarters as dimes."

q = 2(25)

q = 50 quarters

The statement "She has 10 more dimes than nickels"

n = 25 - 10

n - 15 nickels

Check our solutions

.05(15) + .1(25) + .25(50) =

.75 + 2.50 + 12.50 = 15.75 proves our solutions

a tram moved downward 15 meters in 5 seconds at a constant rate. what was the change in the team's elevation each second?

Sergio [31]

Answer: 3 meters downward per second

Step-by-step explanation:

If it moved downward 15 meters for every 5 seconds and to find the change in the elevation each second then divide the meters by 5.

15/5 = 3

3 meters per second
