Answer:

28 nickels and 58 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation has two unknowns - the total number of dimes and the total number of nickels. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.  

• d+n=80 is an equation representing the total number of coins

• 0.10d+0.05n=6.60 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.10 and 0.05 come from the value of a dime and nickel individually.

We write the first equation in terms of n by subtracting it across the equal sign to get d=80-n. We now substitute this for d in the second equation.

0.10(80-n)+0.25n=6.60\\8-0.10n+0.05n=6.60\\8-0.05q=6.60

After simplifying, we subtract 8 across and divide by the coefficient of n.

8-0.05q=6.60\\-0.05q=-1.4\\n=28

We now know of the 80 coins that 28 are nickels. To find the total number of dimes, we subtract 28 from 80 to get 52 dimes.

H^2+14h=-31 Solve by completing the square
matrenka [14]
Since the constant has been moved to the left side, you can move on to the next step which is adding (b/2)² to both sides of the equation.

h² + 14h + (14/2)² = -31 + (14/2)²

Simplify the parenthesis and exponent.

h² + 14h + 7² = -31 + 7²

h² + 14h + 49 = -31 + 49

h² + 14h + 49 = 18

Factor the expression of the left.

(h + 7)(h + 7) = 18

Take the square root of both sides.

√(h + 7)(h + 7) = ± √9 • 2

(h + 7) = ± 3√2

h + 7 = ± 3√2

Subtract 7 from both sides.

You solutions are:

h = -7 + 3√2 → -2.7573 → -2.76

h = -7 - 3√2 → -11.2426 → -11.24

Someone please help. It is easy
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Alright. So we have 2 eggs at 2.49 each. That is $4.98. We have .25 pounds cheese priced at $13.40 per pound. 13.40 x .25 = $3.35. Then we have juice at $5.49. If we add those up we get: 4.98+3.35+5.49=$13.82. Then we get $0.75 in change, so if we add $13.82 and 0.75 we get: $14.57

The answer is $14.57.

Write a fraction that is less then 5/6 and has a denominator of 8
Verdich [7]

So we want to write a fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8. So lets start from 1/1 that is greater then 5/6 and doesn't have 8 as a denominator. Lets take one half from 1/1 and well get 1/2.
