Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number of nickels. Then the number of quarters is 36-n. The difference is ...
(36-n) -n = 8 . . . . . 8 more quarters than nickels
18 -n = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 2
14 = n . . . . . . . . add n-4 to both sides
There are 14 nickels in the jar.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The problem supplies more information than is needed for a solution. You can work this as a "sum and difference" problem, as we have above, or you can work it as a "mixture" problem where the total coin value comes into play. Any two of the three given relations will give a solution.
n + q = 36 . . . . . . . number of coins
5n +25q = 620 . . . value of coins (in cents)
q -n = 8 . . . . . . . . difference in number of coins
Answer:
7/5 is the constant variation.
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 10 because there are 20 days and no home work is due on 7 of those days so that’s 13 days with homework from math or writing. Then you take the three days where it was just math and subtract that to get 10 days of writing.
Answer: B' (5, -8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Rotating 180 around the origin rule:
(x,y)--> (-x-y)
B (-5,8) B' (5, -8)
Answer:x=150
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 1.2x from both sides.
0.8x+20−1.2x=1.2x−40−1.2x
−0.4x+20=−40
Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.
−0.4x+20−20=−40−20
−0.4x=−60
Step 3: Divide both sides by -0.4.
−0.4x
−0.4
=
−60
−0.4
