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

4 - The area of a rectangle is 256.5m. If the length is 18m what is the perimeter of the rectangle? -
attashe74 [19]
The equation of the area of a triangle is Area=Length×Width. We know area=256.5 and length is 18. So now we know 256.5=18×width. We then divide 256.5÷18 to get the width. The width is 14.25. Perimeter=legth+length+width+width. If width is 18 and length is 14.25 then we add up all 4 sides. 18+18+14.25+14.25=64.5. 64.5 is the perimeter

Write an expression that is equivalent to three over four(5z + 16).
klio [65]
Your answer is B. Using the distributive property, 3/4 • 5z equals 15/4z, which can't be simplified. Then 3/4 of 16 is 12. If you divide 16 by 4 (the denominator) and then multiply by 3 (the numerator) that yields your answer.

belka [17]
Answer: 3.4 h

Explanation:

1) The basis to solve this kind of problems is that the speed of working together is equal to the sum of the individual speeds.

This is: speed of doing the project together = speed of Cody working alone + speed of Kaitlyin working alone.

2) Speed of Cody

Cody can complete the project in 8 hours => 1 project / 8 h

3) Speed of Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn can complete the project in 6 houres => 1 project / 6 h

4) Speed working together:

1 / 8 + 1 / 6  = [6 + 8] / (6*8  = 14 / 48 = 7 / 24

7/24 is the velocity or working together meaning that they can complete 7 projects in 24 hours.

Then, the time to complete the entire project is the inverse: 24 hours / 7 projects ≈ 3.4 hours / project.Meaning 3.4 hours to complete the project.
