So the square was fine, then the triangle decided to go for a hike.

now, if the triangle when it took off, it took 59 cm², and the square was left all by its lonesome with only 85 cm², that means with the triangle in it, the square is then 59 + 85 cm², or 144 cm².

\bf \textit{area of a square}\\\\
A=s^2\qquad 
\begin{cases}
s=\textit{length of a side}\\
---------\\
A=144
\end{cases}\implies 144=s^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{144}=s
\implies 12=s

You have 20 coins in your pocket that are either quarter or dimes. They total $3.95. How many quarters do you have? A.16 B.13 C.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

B. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this by setting up system of equations:

0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95

x + y = 20

x equals the number of quarters and y equals the number of dimes. 0.25 is the value of a quarter and 0.10 is the value of a dime.

1. Multiply one equation to have the same coefficient as the other

0.10 · (x + y = 20) = 0.10x + 0.10y = 2

2. Subtract to find the value of one variable

 0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95

<u>- 0.10x + 0.10y = 2</u>

0.15x = 1.95

3. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.15

x = 13
