Answer:

There are 14 $ 10 bills, 8 $ 20 bills and 32 $ 5 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of $10 bills,

∵ The number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills,

So, the number of $ 20 bills = x - 6,

Also, the number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4,

So, the number of $ 5 bills = 2x + 4

Thus, the total amount = $ 10 × x + $ 20 ( x - 6 ) + $ 5(2x + 4)

= 10x + 20x - 120 + 10x + 20

= (40x - 100) dollars

According to the question,

40x - 100 = 460

40x = 460 + 100

40x = 560

⇒ x = 14

Hence, the number of $ 10 bills is 14, $ 20 bills is 8 and $ 5 bills is 32.

Answer:

Number of $5 bills = 32

Number of $10 bills = 14

Number of $20 bills = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x number of $5, y number of $10 and z number of $20

The number of $5 bills exceeds twice the number of $10 bills by 4.

Therefore, x = 2y + 4

The number of $20 bills is 6 fewer than the number of $10 bills.

Therefore, z = y - 6

A wallet contains $460 in $5, $10, and $20 bills.

Therefore,

5x + 10y + 20z = 460

Substitute x and y into equation

    5(2y+4) + 10y + 20(y-6) = 460

10y + 20 + 10y + 20y - 120 = 460

                           40y - 100 = 460

                                    40y = 460 + 100

                                    40y = 560

                                      y = 14

  • Put the value of y into x = 2y + 4 and solve for x

                                      x = 2(14) + 4

                                      x = 32

  • Put the value of y into z = y - 6 and solve for z

                                      z = 14 - 6

                                      z = 8

Hence, the each type of bills,

Number of $5 bills = 32

Number of $10 bills = 14

Number of $20 bills = 8

Find the coordinates of the third vertex that completes the construction of a right triangle on the coordinate plane.
Neko [114]

Answer:

<u>(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}</u>

<u>OR</u>

<u>(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the given line from the right to the left are:

(7,1) and (-2,1)

So, to make a right triangle, we need to make a right angle or by another words, we need to a make a perpendicular line to the given line (i.e: a vertical line parallel to the y-axis at one of the given points)

So, the third vertex must be on the line x=7 or x=-2

So, the coordinates of the third vertex is:

<u>(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}</u>

<u>OR</u>

<u>(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}</u>
