A collection of five coins has a value of $1 and consists of dimes and

DENIUS [597]3 years ago

For this case we propose a system of equations. We have to:

x: Let the variable that represents the number of dimes

y: Let the variable that represents the number of quaters

We know that:

One dime equals 10 cents, $0.10

A quater equals 0.25 cents, $0.25

According to the statement we have:

x + y = 5\\0.10x + 0.25y = 1

We multiply the first equation by -0.10:

-0.10x-0.10y = -0.5

We have the following equivalent system:

-0.10x-0.10y = -0.5\\0.10x + 0.25y = 1

We add the equations:

-0.10x + 0.10x-010y + 0.25y = -0.5 + 1\\0.15y = 0.5\\y = \frac {0.5}{0.15}\\y = 3.33

Approximately 3 quater coins

x = 5-y = 5-3 = 2

And two dimes

Answer:

3 quater

2 dimes

If you run a marathon of 26 1/5 miles in a time of 5 4/5 how far do you run in 1 hour<br><br>pls
alisha [4.7K]

First let's make both the miles and the hours ran improper fractions:

26+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{131}{5}\\ 5+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{29}{5}

So, to find our miles per hour, we have to divide the miles by the hours to get: \frac{\frac{131}{5}\text{miles}}{\frac{29}{5}\text{hours}}=\frac{131\text{miles}}{29\text{hours}} \\ \text{ Now we have to divide the top and the bottom by 29 to get our miles per hour so: }\\ \frac{\frac{131}{29}}{\text{hour}} \approx \frac{4.52 \text{miles}}{\text{hour}}

What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see
Rom4ik [11]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

-1/3x

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h3>Known :</h3>
  • x1 = -3
  • x2 = 0
  • y1 = 1
  • y2 = 0

<h3>Asked :</h3>
  • Correct line equation

<h3>Solution :</h3>

We can find the straight line equation using this formula,

\frac{y-y1}{y2-y1} = \frac{x-x1}{x2-x1}

Insert all we know inside the formula,

\frac{y-1}{0-1} = \frac{x-(-3)}{0-(-3)}\\\frac{y-1}{-1} = \frac{x +3}{3}\\

Use cross multiplication,

3(y - 1) = -1(x + 3)\

3y - 3 = -x - 3

3y = -x - 3 + 3

3y = -x

y = -1/3x

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

The correct equation is y = -1/3x
