Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of nickels and d be number of dimes.

Since we know that the value of one dime equals $0.10 and value of 1 nickel is $0.05, therefore, value of n nickels will be 0.05n and value of d dimes will be 0.10d.

We have been given that a collection of nickels and dimes has a value of 1.85.

Let us represent this information in an equation.

0.05n+0.10d=1.85...(1)

We have been given that the value of the dimes is 0.10 less than twice the value of the nickels.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

0.10d+0.10=2*(0.05n)...(2)

Therefore, our system of equations that can be used to find the number of nickels and the number of dimes is:      

0.05n+0.10d=1.85...(1)  

0.10d+0.10=2*(0.05n)...(2)

Please help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

-4 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-23/3 + (-11/2) + 35/4

<em>Find a common denominator (12).</em>

-92/12 + (-66/12) + 105/12

<em>Reform the equation to have this as a single fraction.</em>

(-92 + (-66) + 105)/12

<em>Subtract 66 from -92 to get -158.</em>

(-158 + 105)/12

<em>Add 105 to -158 to get -53.</em>

-53/12

<em>Convert into a mixed number by dividing by 12.</em>

-4 5/12 (Choice A) is your answer.

Look at the Schoology problem provided below.
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

k = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

k² + 7.5² = 8.5²

k² + 56.25 = 72.25 ( subtract 56.25 from both sides )

k² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

k = \sqrt{16} = 4
