The correct way to express your answer somewhat escapes me for the moment (insomnia for days) but the first answer doesn't satisfy ALL of your question because the total amount of money exceeds the given total of $4.25. I know that you have 15 quarters and 5 dimes to satisfy everything. 15+5=20 coins and 15x.25=3.75
5x.10=.50
$3.75 + .50 = $4.25
I hope this helps and you can convey it properly.

25q + 10d = 425
q + d = 20

First thing's first, picture 4 quarters. Do you know how much these 4 quarters are worth? Obviously, you'd answer one dollar, but take the time to think about how exactly you came up with this answer.

"Well, it's simple," you might think, "Multiply 0.25 by 4."

Similar to this train of thought, the first equation is formulated by doing exactly that. 'q' represents an unknown number of quarters, and 'd' an unknown number of dimes. We use 25q and 10d, because, well, we're multiplying their value by the number of coins. They're equivalent to 425 because the 20 unknown coins make $4.25 (I converted it to cents to get rid of the pesky decimals, but if you want to keep it as dollars that works too).

Because the equation states that there are 20 coins in total, we know that we can make the equation 'q + d = 20' since there are 20 quarters and dimes in total.

Let me know if you need any further explanation :)

What is the solution to the equation? round your answer to two decimal places. 6•e^x=25​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6e^{x} = 25 ( divide both sides by 6 )

e^{x} = \frac{25}{6}

Take the ln of both sides

lne^{x} = ln (\frac{25}{6}) , hence

x lne = ln (\frac{25}{6}) ← note ln e = 1

x = ln (\frac{25}{6}) ≈ 1.43 → A

Solve the equation without the use of a calculator. please Help!!! Thank you!!!<br> 12x^3-30x=8-2x^2
Arisa [49]

12x^3 +2x^2-30x = 8
2x( 6x^2 +x -15) = 8
so 2x= 8, x=4
(2x) ( 2x-3) ( 3x+5) = 8
2x-3 = 8
2x= 11
x= 5.5
3x+5=8
3x= 3
x=1

The median for the given set of six ordered values is 28.5
Alika [10]
X=the missing value

the median is the middle number, but in this case there are two which happens to be 25 and x
so the formula is

25+x/2=31.5
use algebra to solve
25+x=63
x=63-25
x= 38

Therefore, the missing value is 38.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any further questions:)

Let's call the distance from the beach to the playground x.
Let's call the distance from the stand to the parking lot z.
Let's call the base of the biggest triangle in the picture (from the parking lot to the left) y.

Recall the pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

There are three right triangles we can work with.

Triangle with sides 48, x and z. Here z is the hypotenuse so we get the equation x^{2} + 48^{2} = z^{2}

Triangle with sides 27, x and y. Here y is the hypotenuse so we get 27^{2} + x^{2} = y^{2}

Triangle with sides z, y and (48+27). Here (48+27) is the hypotenuse so we get y^{2} + z^{2} = (27+48)^{2}. That is, y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625

We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns (x, y and z). So let's take the last equation: y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625 and replace z^{2} and y^{2} using expressions that contain an expression in terms of x from the first two equations we came up with.

That gives us: 48^{2} + x^{2} + x^{2} + 27^{2} =5625 which we solve for x as follows:

2 x^{2} + 3033 =5625&#10;2x^{2}  =2592&#10; x^{2} =1296&#10;x=36

Now that we know x we can substitute 36 for x into the equation 48^{2} + x^{2} = z^{2} and solve for z as follows:
48^{2} + 36^{2} = z^{2} &#10;2304+1296=z^{2} &#10;3600=z^{2} &#10;z=60

This means that the distance from the beach to the parking lot is 36 m and the distance from the stand to the parking lot is 60 m.
