There are 12 coins of nickels, 8 coins of dime and 3 coins of quarter.

Further explanation:

A nickel is equal to \$ 0.05.

A dime is equal to \$ 0.10.

A quarter is equal to \$ 0.25.

Explanation:

Adam has \$ 2.15 in nickels, dimes and quarters.

Consider the number of coins of nickels as \text{n}.

Consider the number of coins of dimes as \text{d}.

Consider the number of coins of quarters as \text{q}.

If the number of dimes is 4 less than the number of nickels

n = \left( {4 + d} \right)

If the number of dimes5 more than the number of quarters

q = d - 5

Adam has \$ 2.15 in nickels, dimes and quarters.

\begin{aligned}0.05n + 0.10d + 0.25q &= 2.15\\0.05\left( {4 + d} \right) + 0.10d + 0.25\left( {d - 5} \right) &= 2.15\\0.40d - 1.05 &= 2.15\\0.40d &= 3.20\\d&= 8\\\end{aligned}

Number of nickels coins can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}n&= d + 4\\&= 8 + 4\\&= 12\\\end{aligned}

Number of quarters are 3.

There are 12 coins of nickels, 8 coins of dime and 3 coins of quarter.

Answer:

8 Dimes,12 Nickels, and 3 Quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

d= amount of dimes  n=amount of nickels  q=amount of quarters

You have to make formulas for the different variables. Since there are four more dimes than nickels so you have d+4=n. same thing with quarters but LESS so you would subtract d-5=q.

Then making the big picture;

Dimes have 10 cents Nickles have 5 cents, and Quarters have 25 cents. We do not know how many of each we have but we do know how much they are so when you add them together you would have to get the amount of money. That is  were the amount of each coin comes in so we have 10(d) for dimes 5(n) for nickles then 25(q) for quarters. We know the total of those is going to get 215 for the $2.15. This is how we get the big formula 10(d)+5(n)+25(q)=215.

Now we just plug things in 10(d)+5(d+4)+25(d-5)=215. Now we solve for D.

Distribute the 5 and 25   10d+5d+20+25d-125=215

Add common multiples   40d-105=215

Add 105 to both sides   40d=320

Divide 40 to both sides d=8

Now you have to figure out how many quarters and nickels you have just plug them into the other formulas;

n=d+4    n=8+4    n=12

q=d-5     q=8-5     q=3

You can ALWAYS check you answer by plug them into the "big picture"

10d+5n+25q=215   ~   10(8)+5(12)+25(3)=215  ~  80+60+75=215

To compare 5 in tens place to 5 in the hundreds place in the number 5,555
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

I'm not sure what you are asking for?

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 in the tens place = 50, and the 5 in the hundreds place = 500.

To compare them (Are you asking me for the difference between them???), then, 500 - 50 = 450.

But, again, I'm not sure what you want.

hich statement best describes the domain and range of p(x) = 6–x and q(x) = 6x? p(x) and q(x) have the same domain and the same
Sati [7]

Answer:

p(x) and q(x) have the same domain and the same range.

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = 6-x and

q(x) = 6x

First of all, let us have a look at the definition of domain and range.

Domain of a function y =f(x) is the set of input value i.e. the value of x for which the function f(x) is defined.

Range of a function y =f(x) is the set of output value i.e. the value of y or f(x) for the values of x in the domain.

Now, let us consider the given functions one by one:

p(x) = 6-x

Let us sketch the graph of given function.

Please find attached graph.

There are no values of x for which p(x) is not defined so domain is All real numbers.

So, domain is (-\infty, \infty) or x\in R

Its range is also All Real Numbers

So, Range is (-\infty, \infty) or x\in R

q(x) = 6x

Let us sketch the graph of given function.

Please find attached graph.

There are no values of x for which q(x) is not defined so domain is All real numbers.

So, domain is (-\infty, \infty) or x\in R

Its range is also All Real Numbers

So, Range is (-\infty, \infty) or x\in R

Hence, the correct answer is:

p(x) and q(x) have the same domain and the same range.
