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.

Which step should be used to prove that point P is equidistant from points R and Q
nydimaria [60]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  If any one side and any one common angle are equal in triangles PQR and PRS, then their corresponding sides are also equal.

2. If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their third sides are equal.

3.  In triangles PQR and PQS, if one side and one angle are equal, then their corresponding sides and angles are also equal.

4. In triangles PRS and PQS, all three angles are equal.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1. k=0

2. yes, result is still a polynomial.

3. yes, f and g must have the same degree to have deg(f+g) < deg(f) or deg(g)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. for what constant k must f(k) always equal the constant term of f(x) for any polynomial f(x)

for k=0 any polynomial f(x) will reduce f(k) to the constant term.

2. If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, is the result a polynomial?

Yes, If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, the result is always a polynomial.

3. if deg(f+g) is less than both deg f and deg g, then must f and g have the same degree?

Yes.  

If

deg(f+g) < deg(f) and

deg(f+g) < deg(g)

then it means that the two leading terms cancel out, which can happen only if f and g have the same degree.
