Answer:

$1.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers of nickels, dimes and quarters by n, d and q.

Then: d + q = 9, or q = 9 - d.

Also, n + d = 10

Lastly, n + d + q = 15.

Let's substitute 9 - d for q in the equation immediately above:

n + d + (9 - d) = 15, or n + 9 = 15.  Then n must be 6.

In summary, Jim has 6 nickels, (10 - 6) dimes and (9 - 4) quarters, or:

                                    6 nickels, 4 dimes and 5 quarters

Thus, he has 5($0.05) + 4($0.10) + 5($0.25), or

                         $0.25   +   $0.40   + $1.25, or          $1.90

Sally identified the terms of the expression 9a + 4b - 18 as 9, 4, and 18. Explain her error.
nordsb [41]

A term is a single mathematical expression. It may be a single number (positive or negative), a single variable (a letter), several variables multiplied but never added or subtracted. Some terms contain variables with a number in front of them. The number in front of a term is called a coefficient.

So the terms are 9a, 4b, and 18.

hope it helps!

I am having trouble understanding the concept of completing the square in math. Could someone please assist me on how to do so?
enyata [817]
"Completing the square" is the process used to derive the quadratic  formula for the general quadratic ax^2+bx+c=0.  Suppose you did not know the value of a,b, or c of the quadratic...

ax^2+bx+c=0  You need a leading coefficient of one for the process to work, so you divide the whole equation by a

x^2+bx/a+c/a=0  now you move the constant to the other side of the equation

x^2+bx/a=-c/a  now you halve the linear coefficient, square that, then add that value to both sides, ie, (b/(2a))^2=b^2/(4a^2)...

x^2+bx/a+b^2/(4a^2)=b^2/(4a^2)-c/a  now the left side is a perfect square...

(x+b/(2a))^2=(b^2-4ac)/(4a^2)  now take the square root of both sides

x+b/(2a)=±√(b^2-4ac)/(2a)  now subtract b/(2a) from both sides

x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

It is actually much simpler keeping track of everything when using known values for a,b, and c, but the above explains the actual process used to create the quadratic formula, which the above solution is. :)
