Answer:

15 Nickels, 11 Pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify your life and take out the decimals

5*N + P = 86

P + 4 = N (4 more nickels than pennies)

By substitution of the second eq into the first: 5*(P+4) + P = 86

5*P + 20 + P = 86

6P = 66

P = 11, so N = 4 + 11 = 15

Answer:Ruby has 11 pennies and 15 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a penny is 1 cent. Converting to dollars, it becomes

1/100 = $0.01

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of pemnies that Ruby has.

Let y represent the number of nickels that Ruby has.

She has 4 more nickels than pennies. This means that

y = x + 4

Ruby has $0.86 worth of pennies and nickels. This means that

0.01x + 0.05y = 0.86 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = x + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

0.01x + 0.05(x + 4) = 0.86

0.01x + 0.05x + 0.2 = 0.86

0.06x = 0.86 - 0.2 = 0.66

x = 0.66/0.06

x = 11

y = x + 4 = 11 + 4

y = 15

A ballplayer catches a ball 3.4s after throwing it vertically upward. with what speed did he throw it, and what height did it re
Daniel [21]

From the equation of motion, we know,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where s= displacement

u= initial velocity

a= gravitational force

t= time

Displacement is 0 since the ball comes back to the same point from where it was thrown.  

A = -9.8m/s^{2} since the ball is thrown upwards.

Plug the known values into the equation.

=> 0=u\left ( 3.4 \right )+\frac{1}{2}\left ( -9.81 \right )(3.4^{2})

Solving for u gives :

u= 16.67 m/ sec ....... equation (1)

At maximum height, final velocity i.e v is 0

Time take to reach the top = \frac{3.4}{2} = 1.7 sec

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

=> 0=(16.67)^{2}+2(-9.81)(s)

Solving for s we get

s= 14.16 m

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

The several people are sitting evenly spaced around a circular table and the positions are labelled 1, 2, 3 and so on.

The people at positions 3 and 15 are directly opposite each other.

Then the number of the people are sitting at the table will be

1 is opposite to 13

2 is opposite to 14

3 is opposite to 15

Similarly, 12 will be opposite to 24.

Then the number of the people are sitting at the table will be 24.
