Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c

Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:

25q + 5n = 150

Rearranging to make n the subject:

n = 30 - 5q

Next, we use the second statement:

n = 2q - 5

Substituting this into the first equation:

2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5

Putting this value for q into the first equation:

n = 30 - 5(5) = 5

Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)

What segment is congruent to AC?<br> A. BD<br> B. BE<br> C. CE<br> D. none
Phoenix [80]
You can find the segment congruent to AC by finding another segment with the same length. So first, you need to find the length of AC.

   C - A = AC
0 - (-6) = AC   Cancel out the double negative
  0 + 6 = AC
        6 = AC

Now, find another segment that also has a length of 6.

   D - B = BD
2 - (-2) = BD   Cancel out the double negative
  2 + 2 = BD
        4 = BD
        4 ≠ 6

   E - B = BE
4 - (-2) = BE   Cancel out the double negative
  4 + 2 = BE 
        6 = BE
        6 = 6

So, the segment congruent to AC is B. BE .
