Answer:

250 nickles

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickles and dimes are coins with different currency values. One nickel(N) is equal to 5 cents while one dime(D) is equal to 10 cents. The ratio of nickel:dime is 5:7, to put into the equation it will be:

N/D= 5/7

7N=5D ---> 1st equation

There are 350 dimes, the equation will be:

D=350 ----> 2nd equation

We can find out the number of nickels by substitute the 2nd equation into the first. The calculation will be

7N=5D

N= 5D/7

N=5(350)/7

N= 250

Exponential to Logarithmic: $\displaystyle b^m=x \rightarrow log_bx=m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

0.77 = log(x)

Step 2: Solve for x

[Equality Property] Raise both sides to the 10th power: $\displaysytle 10^{0.77} = 10^{logx}$
Simplify: $\displaysytle x = 10^{0.77}$
Evaluate: $\displaysytle x = 5.88844$
