Answer:
The number of pennies in the bank is 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
Given that ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14 : 3
Let 14x be the number of pennies in a piggy bank
Let 3x be the number of quarters in the piggy bank
To find: number of pennies
Given that there are 51 quarters
number of pennies in piggy bank + number of quarters in piggy bank = 51
14x + 3x = 51
17x = 51
x = 3
number of pennies = 14x = 14(3) = 42
Thus the number of pennies in the bank is 42
Pick any two points and find the rise over run (y over x) this is how you get your slope as for the y-intercept look at the point where the line crosses the y-axis
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Hey there!</em>
Well angles like 142 and 2x + 22 equal each other because they are across from each other.
So we can set up the following,
142 = 3x + 22
Single out x
-22 to both sides
120 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
x = 40

Answer:
64°
Step-by-step explanation:
Check the attachment for the diagram. Since the triangle has one of its angle as 90°, it is a right angled triangle.
Using the SOH CAH TOA trigonometry ratios:
Since ∠P is opposite to side QR,
QR = opposite side = 8ft
RP = adjacent side = 3.9ft
According to TOA
Tan∠P = Opposite/Adjacent = QR/RP
Tan∠P = 8/3.9
Tan∠P = 2.05
∠P = arctan 2.051
∠P = 64°
Let's identify what we are looking for in terms of variables. Sandwiches are s and coffee is c. Casey buys 3 sandwiches, which is represented then by 3s, and 5 cups of coffee, which is represented by 5c. Those all put together on one bill comes to 26. So Casey's equation for his purchases is 3s + 5c = 26. Eric buys 4 sandwiches, 4s, and 2 cups of coffee, 2c, and his total purchase was 23. Eric's equation for his purchases then is 4s + 2c = 23. In order to solve for c, the cost of a cup of coffee, we need to multiply both of those bolded equations by some factor to eliminate the s's. The coefficients on the s terms are 4 and 3. 4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly, so we will multiply the first bolded equation by 4 and the second one by -3 so the s terms cancel out. 4[3s + 5c = 26] means that 12s + 20c = 104. Multiplying the second bolded equation by -3: -3[4s + 2c = 23] means that -12s - 6c = -69. The s terms cancel because 12s - 12s = 0s. We are left with a system of equations that just contain one unknown now, which is c, what we are looking to solve for. 20c = 104 and -6c = -69. Adding those together by the method of elimination (which is what we've been doing all this time), 14c = 35. That means that c = 2.5 and a cup of coffee is $2.50. There you go!
