 A jar contains only​ pennies, nickels,​ dimes, and quarters. There are 25 ​pennies, 21 ​dimes, and 29 quarters. The rest of the

coins are nickels. There are 92 coins in all. How many of the coins are not​ nickels? If n represents the number of nickels in the​ jar, what equation could you use to find​ n?

<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>There are 75 coins that aren't nickels. </h3><h3>One equation you could use is 75+n = 92</h3>

(This solves to n = 17 meaning there are 17 nickels)

=====================================================

Explanation:

"There are 25 ​pennies, 21 ​dimes, and 29 quarters", so there are 25+21+29 = 75 coins so far. This is the amount of coins that aren't nickels. The rest are nickels, which is some amount n. This adds to the 75 to get 75+n. Set this equal to 92 because there are 92 coins in all. That's how we end up with 75+n = 92.

-----

Extra info

The equation 75+n = 92 is the same as n+75 = 92. Subtract 75 from both sides to isolate n. You should get n = 17 after doing so.

We are interested in the dimensions of a certain rectangle. this rectangle has length twice the side of the square and width thr
Mila [183]
Area of square = s^2
Area of Rectangle = lw
l = 2s

w+3 = s
solve for w, w=s-3
Now we have l and w.
Plug both into area of rectangle formula so: (2s)(s-3)
Since both areas are equal set both equations equal to each other:
(2s)(s-3)=s^2
Now simplify
2s^2-6s=s^2
s^2-6s=0, Solve for s.
Factor polynomial. s(s-6)=0 , s can be equal to 0 or 6. HOWEVER, you cannot have a side length of 0 therefore the side length has to be 6.
Now plug in s for the length formula for the rectangle:
l = 2s so... l = 2(6) so length of rectangle = 12.
Now plug in s for the width formula for the rectangle:
w+3=s so... w+3=6 so width of rectangle = 3.
Now the dimensions of the rectangle are 12 by 3. 12 being length and 3 width.
To CHECK:
Find area of rectangle:
A=lw so A=3 times 12 so A=36
Find area of square:
We know the side is equal to 6 so
A=s^2 so 6^2 = 36
The areas are equal that verifies the answer of 12 by 3.

I'm not sure but I think I may have the answer to number 9
It says she uses 3 draws for shirts and wants to find out the percentage. Percentage is normally out of 100% so we do 100÷4 (we divide by 4 because there are 4 drawers)
100÷4=25. So now it says she uses three drawers for her shirts so we need to do 25x3=75 and all you do with that is put it in percent. The answer is 75%
P.S I am not entirely sure that this is correct but I wanted to help ❤

Points have the following physical properties:
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

D.  none

Step-by-step explanation:

The point in geometry is defined as the location.

Point A is described as the location of A on any given plane.

Point is represented as a dot.

A dot has no physical dimension like depth,  height, thickness or size.

Hence, any two points can not be compared on the basis of any physical parameter.
