Answer:

The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q and d represent the number of quarters and of dimes respectively.

Then q + d = 11 (Equation A), and ($0.25/quarter)q + ($0.10/dime)d = $1.85 (Equation B).

Multiply the 2nd equation by 100 to remove the decimal fractions:

25q + 10d = 185 (Equation C)

Now multiply the 1st equation by -10 to obtain -10q - 10d = -110 (Equation D), and combine this result with Equation C:

-10q - 10d = -110

25q + 10d = 185

--------------------------

15q = 75, and so q = 75/15 = 5.

According to Equation A, q + d = 11. Replacing q with 5, we get:

5 + d = 11, and so d = 6.

The child has 6 dimes and 5 quarters.

Ket [755]

This is the concept of geometry, for us to prove the similarity of angles we can use the following postulates:
SAS (side-angle-side)
ASA (Angle side Angle)
SSS (side side side)
AAS (Angle Angle side)
therefore, given that AAA is used to prove similarity, another postulate that can be used to strengthen the postulate is SAS, because we already have the angle sizes, adding more sides will make the prove even stronger since we shall have three corresponding angles plus wo corresponding sides.

Multiply first equaton by 2 and add to the other equation

6x+6y=12
<u>5x-6y=15 +</u>
11x+0y=27

11x=27
divide both sides by 11
x=27/11

sub back
3x+3y=6
divide both sides by 3
x+y=2
(27/11)+y=2
2 and 5/11+y=2
minus 2 and 5/11 both sides
y=-5/11

x=27/11
y=-5/11
(27/11,-5/11)

jessy took out a loan of $16,500 over 5 years at 4.2% interest to purchase a new car. how much will she pay in interest on the l

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 4.2%/100 = 0.042 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 16500 × 0.042 × 5 = 3465

I = $ 3,465.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 16,500.00

at a rate of 4.2% per year

for 5 years is $ 3,465.00.
