Answer: there are 70 dimes and 40 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is 10 cents

A nickel is 5 cents

A quarter is 25 cents

Let x represent the number of dimes at the bottom.

Let y represent the number of quarters at the bottom.

The city park employee collected 1,850 cents in nickels, dimes, and quarters at the bottom of a wishing well. If there were 30 nickels, it means that

10x + 25y + 30 × 5 = 1850

10x + 25y = 1850 - 150

10x + 25y = 1700- - - - - - - - -1

There is a combined total of 110 dimes and quarters. It means that

x + y = 110

Substituting x = 110 - y into equation 1, it becomes

10(110 - y) + 25y = 1700

1100 - 10y + 25y = 1700

1100 + 15y = 1700

15y = 1700 - 1100

15y = 600

y = 600/15

y = 40

x = 110 - y = 110 - 40

x = 70

Which of these inferences about the author’s point of view is best supported by the entire excerpt?

From: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" lesson

A. “She’s simply called HeLa, the code name given to the world’s first immortal human cells—her cells, cut from her cervix just months before she died.”

B. “I’ve spent years staring at that photo, wondering what kind of life she led, what happened to her children, and what she’d think about cells from her cervix living on forever—bought, sold, packaged, and shipped by the trillions to laboratories around the world.”

C. “One scientist estimates that if you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—an inconceivable number, given that an individual cell weighs almost nothing.”

D. “All of the stories mentioned that scientists had begun doing research on Henrietta’s children, but the Lackses didn’t seem to know what that research was

Make vthe subjject of the formulaE=mvsquare/ 2<br>find the value of v when m =2 and E=64​
Maksim231197 [3]

E=mv²

divide both sides by m

E/m=v²

square root both sides

v=√E/m

m=2,E=64

v=√64/2

v=9/√2

LekaFEV [45]

I think I know how to do it


Your equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂


You Know:

Initial:

P₁ = 84 Pa

V₁ = 336 L


New:

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 216L


Plug this into the equation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

(84 Pa)(336 L) = P₂(216 L)     Divide 216 on both sides

\frac{(84Pa)(336L)}{216L}=\frac{(P_{2})(216L)}{216L}

130.6666666 = P₂    

(if your doing significant figures, you have 2 sig figs)

130 Pa = P₂
