Answer:

nickel = 16

dimes = 32

quarters = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of coins Zachery have in his piggy bank = 58

total money Zachery have in his piggy bank = $6.50

Suppose number of nickel = x

               number of dimes = 2x

               number of quarters = y

1 nickel = $0.05

1 dime = $0.10

1 quarter = $0.25

<h3>Equation 1</h3>

x + 2x + y = 58

3x + y = 58

<h3>Equation 2</h3>

x(0.05) + 2x(0.10) + y(0.25) = 6.50

0.05x + 0.2x + 0.25y = 6.50

0.25x + 0.25y = 6.50

y = 58 - 3x

<h3>put value of y in equation 2</h3>

0.25x + 0.25(58 - 3x) = 6.50

0.25x + 14.5 - 0.75x = 6.50

-0.5x = 6.50 - 14.5

-0.5x = -8

x = 16

y = 58 - 3x

y = 58 -3(16)

y =10

number of nickel = x = 16

number of dimes = 2x = 32

number of quarters = y = 10

three numbers are in an arithmetic progression. Their sum is 3 and the sum of their squares is 11. what are the three numbers
Vlad [161]

The three numbers are 12, 18 and 24

Arithmetic progression

Let the 3 number in arithmetic progression be:

a-d, d, a+d ...

If their sum is 3, then;

a-d+d+a+d = 3

2a + d = 3 ........... 1

If the sum of their squares is 11, then;

(a-d)² + d² + (a+d)² = 11

a²-2ad+d²+d²+a²+2ad+d²  11

2a²+3d² = 11 ....... 2

Solving the equations simultaneously, d = 6 and a = 12

First-term = 12

second term = 18

Thirs term = 24

Hence the three numbers are 12, 18 and 24

Hope this helps you!!!!!! :D
