Sherri saves nickels and dimes in a coin purse for her daughter. The total value of the coins in the purse is $0.95. The number

of nickels is 2 less than 5 times the number of dimes. How many nickels and how many dimes are in the coin purse?

I’m guessing that this is for systems of equations?
n - nickels
d - dimes

These are the equations you start off with.
n = 5d-2
0.95 = 0.10d+0.05n

Substitute the top equation for n into the variable n in the bottom equation.
0.95 = 0.10d+0.05(5d-2)

Solve for d.
0.95 = 0.10d+0.25d-0.10
1.05 = 0.35d
3 = d

Substitute d into the top equation and solve for n.
n = 5(3)-2
n = 15-3
n = 12

There are 3 dimes and 12 nickels in the coin purse! Hope this helped <3

2. Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer to paint a room. If they work together, they can complete the job in 4 hours. Explai
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac

Rates

The together rate is the sum of their separates rate.

We have that:

Jennifer takes x hours to complete the job on her own, so her rate is 1/x.

Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer, that is, 15 + x hours, so his rate is 1/(15+x).

The together rate is 1/4. So

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{15+x}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + x + x}{x(15+x)}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + 2x}{x(15+x)}

Applying cross multiplication.

x^2 + 15x = 4(15 + 2x)

x^2 + 15x = 60 + 8x

x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0

Quadratic equation with a = 1, b = 7, c = -60. So

\Delta = 7^{2} - 4*1*60 = 289

x_{1} = \frac{-7 + \sqrt{289}}{2} = 5

x_{2} = \frac{-7 - \sqrt{289}}{2} = -12

Since the time to complete the job has to be a positive value.

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

Evaluate √x^2 − y^2 when x^2 =33 and y^2 =15
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to get the value of √ ( x²-y² ), while the value of x² and y² are given to be 33 and 15 respectively.

Hence, x² =33 and y² = 15.  

Putting the values of x² and y² in the above expression we get,

√ ( x²-y² ) = √ ( 33-15) = √18 =3√2. (Answer)

In most acceptance sampling plans, when a lot is rejected, the entire lot is inspected and all defective items are replaced. Whe

Answer:

When using this technique, the AOQ:

improves (AOQ becomes a smaller fraction).

Step-by-step explanation:

AOQ simply means Average Outgoing Quality, which improves with inspection.  It is a part of an organization's Acceptance Sampling Plan, usually designed to meet product quality and risk level targets.  The plan draws samples from a population of items.  Then it tests the samples.  It only accepts the entire population if the sample is considered good enough.  It also rejects the population when the sample is poor enough.  In the plan, information about sample size and critical acceptance or rejection numbers are clearly indicated.  Acceptance sampling is common in most business environments because it has been found to be more economical than doing 100% inspection of incoming production input and output.
