Answer:

6 dimes and 18 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two variables to represent the number of nickels and dimes Ricky has.

Let's say n = number of nickels and d = number of dimes.

Ricky has 150 cents total. Since one nickel is worth 5 cents, and one dime is worth 10 cents, their value in cents would be 5n and 10d. So, 150 = 5n + 10d.

Since Ricky has three times as many nickels as dimes, n = 3d. So, 150 = 5(3d) + 10d.

From there, you have to solve for d first.

150 = 5(3d) + 10d = 15d + 10d = 25d

150/25 = 25d/25

6 = d

Then, plug it back in for the value of n.

150 = 5n + 10(6) = 5n + 60

150 - 60 = 5n + 60 - 60

90/5 = 5n/5

18 = n

Ricky has 6 dimes and 18 nickels.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7, -7) and (-7, 1) ?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7, -7) and (-7, 1)

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(1 - (-7)) / (-7 - (-7))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (1 + 7) / (-7 + 7)

Simplify the fraction.

8/0

= undefined

Our line is a vertical line, which has an undefined slope.

Hope this helps!

HELP What is the area of this figure?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "40 yd² " .
_____________________________________________________
First, find the area of the triangle:

The formula of the area of a triangle, "A":

A = (1/2) * b * h ; 

in which:  " A = area (in units 'squared') ;  in our case, " yd² " ; 

                 " b = base length" = 6 yd.  

                 " h = perpendicular height" = "(4 yd + 4 yd)" = 8 yd.
___________________________________________________
→  A = (1/2) * b * h = (1/2) * (6 yd) * (8 yd) = (1/2) * (6) * (8) * (yd²) ; 
                                                                 
                                                                   =  " 24 yd² " .
___________________________________________________
Now, find the area, "A", of the square:

The formula for the area, "A" of a square:

   A = s² ;

in which:  "A = area (in "units squared") ; in our case, " yd² " ;
                 
                 "s = side length (since a 'square' has all FOUR (4) equal side lengths);

 A = s²  = (4 yd)² = 4² * yd² =  "16 yd² "
_________________________________________________
Now, we add the areas of BOTH the triangle AND the square:
_________________________________________________
        →  " 24 yd²  +  16 yd² " ; 

to get:  " 40 yd² " ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  " 40 yd² " .
