.05n + .10d = 6.10
n + d = 67
n = 67-d

.05(67-d) + .10d = 6.10
3.35 -.05d + .10d = 6.10
3.35 + .05d = 6.10
3.35-3.35 +.05d = 6.10-3.35
0.05d = 2.75
0.05d/0.05 = 2.75/0.05
d = 55

n + d = 67
n + 55 = 67
n = 12
There are 12 nickels

Check
0.5(12) + .10(55) = $6.10
.60 + 5.50 =$6.10
$6.10 = $6.10

Answer:

A. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes and n represent the number of nickel.

We have been given that a collection of coins has 67 coins in all. This means that total number of nickels and dimes is 67. We can represent this information in an equation as:

n+d=67...(1)

Since we know that a dime is worth $0.10, so d dimes will be worth 0.10d.  A nickel is worth $0.05, so n nickels will be worth 0.05n.

We are also told that the collection is worth $6.10. We can represent this information in an equation as:

0.05n+0.10d=6.10...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve system of linear equations.

From equation (1) we will get,

d=67-n

Upon substituting d=67-n in equation (2) we will get,

0.05n+0.10(67-n)=6.10

0.05n+6.70-0.10n=6.10

-0.05n+6.70=6.10

-0.05n+6.70-6.70=6.10-6.70

-0.05n=-0.60

Let us divide both sides of our equation by -0.05.

\frac{-0.05n}{-0.05}=\frac{-0.60}{-0.05}

n=12

Therefore, there are 12 nickels in the collection and option A is the correct choice.

After 3.5 hours ,pasha had traveled 217 miles if she travels at the constant speed how far will she have travelled after 4 hours
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

248 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

After 3.5 hours ,Pasha had traveled 217 miles

so

using proportion

Find out how many miles she will have traveled after 4 hours

\frac{3.5}{217}\ \frac{hours}{miles}=\frac{4}{x}\ \frac{hours}{miles}\\\\x=217(4)/3.5\\\\x=248\ miles

A woman walks 5 rounds along the border of a square field of area 49². Find the total distance she walks in m.​
Luba_88 [7]
You need to estimate the square root of 200 ft². Rewrite 200 as 2 x 100, then square root of (2*100) is:

10*sqrt(2). The sqrt(2) = 1.414, so the length of each side of the square will be 10*1.414 = 14.14 ft or about 14 ft.

For problems 29 - 31 the graph of a quadratic function y=ax^2 + bx + c is shown. Tell whether the discriminant of ax^2 + bx + c
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

29) discriminant  is positive

30) discriminant  is 0

31) discriminant  is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

the graph of a quadratic function y=ax^2 + bx + c is shown. Tell whether the discriminant of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is positive, negative, or zero.

In the graph of question number 29 we can see that the graph intersects the x axis at two points

so the equation has 2 solutions.

When the equation has two solution then the discriminant is positive

In the graph of question number 30 we can see that the graph intersects the x axis at only one point

so the equation has only  1 solution.

When the equation has only one solution then the discriminant is equal to 0

In the graph of question number 30 we can see that the graph does not intersects the x axis  

so the equation has 2 imaginary solutions.

When the equation has two imaginary solutions then the discriminant is negative

Could I get some help on these please? Will give points.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

X=-4, Y=22, idk about the CBD

Step-by-step explanation:

4y+2=90 degrees

subtract 2 on both sides you would get

4y=88 divide 4 with 88 and get 22

solve both X's so 5x+6=3x-2

i would subtract 3x first so i can get

2x+6=-2

then subtract 6 on both sides so you would have

2x=-8 divide -8 with 2 and get -4
