Answer:

There are 20 nickels and 10 dimes

The friend is correct, there are twice as many nickels as there are dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of nickels

y -----> the number of dimes

z ----> the number of quarters

Remember that

1 nickel=$0.05

1 dime=$0.10

1 quarter=$0.25

so

x+y+z=30 -----> equation A

0.05x+0.10y+0.25z=2

Multiply by 100 both sides

5x+10y+25z=200 -----> equation B

x=2y ----> equation C

substitute equation C in equation A and equation B

2y+y+z=30 -----> 3y+z=30 -----> equation D

5(2y)+10y+25z=200 ----> 20y+25z=200 ----> equation E

Solve the system of equations D and E by graphing

The solution is the point (0,10)

z=0, y=10

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

x=2y -----> x=2(10)=20

therefore

There are 20 nickels and 10 dimes

The friend is correct, there are twice as many nickels as there are dimes

James has eight coins in his pocket. All the coins are either dimes or quarters.The total value of the coins is $1.25. How many
Goshia [24]

Answer:

he has 5d+3q

Step-by-step explanation:

since every d is .10 and every q is .25 the equation can be changed to 5(.10)+3(.25) which is equal to .5+.75 which adds up to 1.25

i did this by assuming that the amount of d is 8 at first, then change one of the 8 d to a q which will give you 7d+q, then assume another d is a q which will give you 6d+2q, repeat this until the amount of d and q add up to 1.25

Answer:

Range is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range can be calculated by subtracting the smallest value of the data set from the largest value of the data set.

The values are:

13, 17, 18, 15, 12, 21, 10, 6, 8, 11, 3

Largest Value in this data set:  21

Smallest Value in this data set: 3

Range = Largest Value - Smallest Value

Range = 21 - 3

Range = 18

Hey you ‼️ yeah I unfortunately need your help again these are hard:(
Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of this question is to find out the point where two lines intersect. First we need to get the equation of those lines

Slope of line 1:

(Yb -Ya)/(Xb - Xa) =

(-10 - (-14))/(-1 - (-3)) =

4/2 =

2

Use that slope to find the Y-intercept of line 1

y = 2x + b

-14 = 2(-3) +b

-14 = -6 + b

-8 = b

Therefore Line 1 is:

y = 2x - 8

Slope of line 2

(11 - 13)/(-1 - (-3)) =

-2/2 =

-1

Y-intercept of line 2

y = -x + b

13 = -(-3) +b

13 = 3 + b

10 = b

Therefore line 2 is

y = -x + 10

Now we have 2 equations to solve for the coordinates x and y

y = 2x - 8

y = -x + 10

Substitute y out in one of the equations

2x - 8 = -x + 10

3x = 18

x = 6

Plug x into one of the equations

y = 2(6) - 8

y = 12 - 8

y = 4

Therefore the solution is:

x=6, y=4

Solving by elimination <br> -6x+6y=6 -6x+3y=-12
labwork [276]
So elimination method is basically adding the equations and canceling out variables. 
-6x + 6y = 6
-6x + 3y = -12
The eaiest way to solve is by multiplying the bottom equation by -1.
-6x + 6y = 6
 6x - 3y = 12
Now you add the eqautions.
3y = 18
Divde 3 from both sides.
y = 6
Now plug in 6 into any of the original two equations. Lets use the first one.
-6x + 6(6) = 6
-6x + 36 = 6
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-6x = -30
Divide -6 from both sides.
x = 5
So your solution is (5, 6).
I hope this helps love! :)
