Answer:

34 nickels, 39 dimes, 78 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

q = quarters, d = dimes, n = nickels

n = d - 5

q = 2d

.25q + .10d + .05n = 7.55

<em>Plug in the first 2 equations into the third one</em>

.5d + .10d + .05(d - 5) = 7.55

<em>Open up the Parenthesis</em>

.5d + .10d + .5d - .25 = 7.55

<em>Combine Like Terms</em>

.2d - .25 = 7.55-->

.2d = 7.8 -->

d = 39 -->

n = 39 - 5 = 34

q = 2(39) = 78

Ji-Hun and Kana are running a marathon. Due to the volume of people running, the starts occur in waves. Kana starts at 9:35 a.m.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

23.52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the number of miles that they would have run.

Kana starts at 9:35 a.m. and runs at an average rate of 7 mph.

Let the time she has spent so far be t.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance and t = time

=> d = s * t

Therefore, for Kana:

d = 7 * t = 7t _____________(1)

Ji-Hun starts at 10:00 am (25 minutes after Hannah) and runs at an average rate of 8 mph.

25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 0.42 hour

So, his time (compared to Kana's) is t - 0.42.

therefore, for Ji-Hun:

d = 8 * (t - 0.42)

=> d = 8t - 3.36 ____________(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7t = 8t - 3.36

=> 8t - 7t = 3.36

t = 3.36 hours

Therefore, let us find d:

d = 7 * 3.36 = 23.52 miles

So, Ji-Hun will catch up to Kana after 23.52 miles.

Which of the following is the reciprocal of x2 – 2x – 8?
Ann [662]
Hi again

x² - 2x - 8
Factor
= (x + 2)(x -4)
Answer : A is the correct option.


If you wanna check if A is the right answer, I will solve it for you and it will you give you the exact answer which will be x² - 2x - 8
(x+2)(x-4)
Distribute
(x)(x) + (x)(-4)+(2)(x)+(2)(-4)
= x² - 4x + 2x - 8
= x² - 2x - 8
Here it is, we find the exam answer.

Thus, (x+2)(x-4) is the reciprocal of x² -2x - 8


I hope that's help !
