So here is how you'll get the answer.
Let x be the number of quarters in the jar.
Then 53-x is the number of nickels in the jar.
<span>We also know .25x + 0.05 (53-x) = 10.25
</span>So next, we solve for x.
.25x + 2.65 - 0.05x = 10.25
0.2x +2.65 = 10.25
0.2x = 10.25 -2.65
0.2x = 7.40
x =37
Therefore, there are 37 quarters in the jar.
53-37 is 16. So there are 16 nickels in the jar.
Hope this answer helps.

X-2y=18 2x+y=6 parallel perpendicular or neither

sergey [27]

<h3>Therefore they are perpendicular.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation of line is

y =mx +c

Here the slope of the line is m.

Given equations are

x - 2y = 18

⇔-2y = -x +18

$\Leftrightarrow y =\frac{1}{2} x -9$ ............(1)

and 2x + y = 6

⇔y = -2x +6 ............(2)

Therefore the slope of equation (1) is $(m_1)$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the slope of equation (2) is $(m_2)$ = -2

If two lines are perpendicular, when we multiply their slope we get -1.

therefore,

$m_1. m_2$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ . (-2) = -1

Therefore they are perpendicular.

Determine the number of possible triangles, ABC, that can be formed given angle A = 30°, a = 4, and b = 6.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

using Sine Law,

$\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinB}{b}$

$\frac{sin30}{4}=\frac{sinB}{6}$

$sinB=0.75$

$angle B = 48.6$

Another angle will be

$angle B' = 180-48.6 = 131.4$

considering angle B, angle C = $180 - (48.6+30)=101.4$

considering angle B', angle C' = $180-(131.4+30)=18.6$

$\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinC}{c}$

$\frac{sin30}{4}=\frac{sin101.4}{c}$

$c = 7.84$

Similarly, finding c'

$\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinC'}{c'}$

$\frac{sin30}{4}=\frac{sin18.6}{c'}$

$c'=2.55$

Hence two triangles are possible with below details: : Answer

A = 30, B = 48.6, C = 101.4, c = 7.84

A = 30, B' = 131.4, C' = 18.6, c' = 2.55

Hope it will help :)

It’s D. 4 is the one next to X because that’s what is changing and -3 is the y intercept which comes after X
