Divde it by 12^2 or 144
1250/144=8.605555555555ft^2
Let
n-------> the number of nickels
q------> the number of quarters
we know that

so
----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
![0.05n+0.25[3n]=1.60](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.05n%2B0.25%5B3n%5D%3D1.60)



Find the value of q

therefore
<u>The answer part a) is</u>
the number of nickels are
and the number of quarters are 
<u>the answer Part b) is</u>
The expressions that represents the number of quarters is
log was used calculate big numbers before calculators
log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent
example
log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16
logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z
log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)
(log(x-6)x) = log(16)
x=8
Treat it just like and equation at first. Multiply the 10 on both sides to get rid of it, leaving you with 50
x. Then on the number line, since there is a line under it, you would make a filled in circle and an arrow pointing towards 51 and beyond
