Answer:

  • 25 dimes
  • 56 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 81-d is the number of nickels and the total value in cents is ...

  10d +5(81-d) = 530

  5d +405 = 530 . . . eliminate parentheses

  d +81 = 106 . . . . . divide by 5

  d = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 81; number of dimes

  81 -d = 81 -25 = 56 . . . . . number of nickels

There are 25 dimes and 56 nickels in the box.

_____

<em>Comment on the method of solution</em>

It usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the highest-value contributor (dimes). This keeps the numbers positive as the solution progresses.

The coordinates of the vertex that A maps to after Daniel's reflections are (3, 4) and the coordinates of the vertex that A maps to after Zachary's reflections are (3, 2)

<h3>How to determine the coordinates of the vertex that A maps to after the two reflections?</h3>

From the given figure, the coordinate of the vertex A is represented as:

A = (-5, 2)

<u>The coordinates of the vertex that A maps to after Daniel's reflections</u>

The rule of reflection across the line x = -1 is

(x, y) ⇒ (-x - 2, y)

So, we have:

A' = (5 - 2, 2)

Evaluate the difference

A' = (3, 2)

The rule of reflection across the line y = 2 is

(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y + 4)

So, we have:

A'' = (3, -2 + 4)

Evaluate the difference

A'' = (3, 4)

Hence, the coordinates of the vertex that A maps to after Daniel's reflections are (3, 4)

<u>The coordinates of the vertex that A maps to after Zachary's reflections</u>

The rule of reflection across the line y = 2 is

(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y + 4)

So, we have:

A' = (-5, -2 + 4)

Evaluate the difference

A' = (-5, 2)

The rule of reflection across the line x = -1 is

(x, y) ⇒ (-x - 2, y)

So, we have:

A'' = (5 - 2, 2)

Evaluate the difference

A'' = (3, 2)

Hence, the coordinates of the vertex that A maps to after Zachary's reflections are (3, 2)

How to solve for 40! / 10!30!
nlexa [21]
40! / 30!  = 40*39*38*37*36*35*34*33*32*31

dividing this by 10!   10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

 =    4*13*19*37*17*11*4*31

=      847,660,528

Line segment XY has the coordinates X(–12, –6) and Y(5, 6). What is the approximate length of line segment XY?
malfutka [58]

The approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units

<h3>How to calculate the distance between two points</h3>

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as:

A = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinate points X(–12, –6) and Y(5, 6). The distance between them is expressed as;

XY = √(5+12)²+(6+6)²

XY = √(17)²+(12)²

XY = √269 + 144

XY = 20.8

Hence the approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units
