Answer:

The number of nickel coins is 10 and the number of quarter coins is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

Mary has 15 coins with the total value of $1.75 if the coins are nickels and quarters how many of each kind are there

Let

x ----> the number of nickel coins

y ----> the number of quarter coins

Remember that

$1\ nickel=\$0.05$

$1\ quarter=\$0.25$

we know that

Mary has 15 coins

$x+y=15$ -----> equation A

The total value of the coins is $1.75

$0.05x+0.25y=1.75$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (10,5)

therefore

The number of nickel coins is 10 and the number of quarter coins is 5

Question 1 (Essay Worth 10 points) (01.02 MC) Part A: If (26)x = 1, what is the value of x? Explain your answer. (5 points) Part

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not clear. However, I will treat the question as:

$(26)x = 1$

$(50)x = 1$

and:

$(2^6)^x = 1$

$(5^0)^x = 1$

Solving: $(26)x = 1$ and $(50)x = 1$

$(26)x = 1$

Divide both sides by 26

$x = \frac{1}{26}$

$(50)x = 1$

Divide both sides by 50

$x = \frac{1}{50}$

Solving $(2^6)^x = 1$ and $(5^0)^x = 1$

$(2^6)^x = 1$

Express 1 as 2^0

$(2^6)^x = 2^0$

Remove bracket

$2^{6x} = 2^0$

Cancel out 2

$6x = 0$

Divide both sides by 6

$x = \frac{0}{6}$

$x = 0$

$(5^0)^x = 1$

Express 1 as 5^0

$(5^0)^x = 5^0$

Cancel out 5^0

$x = 1$
