Answer:

11 pennies

33 nickels

7 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pennies, then the number of nickels is 3x.

There are 51 coins in total, so the number of quarters is 51 - x - 3x = 51 - 4x.

Amounts:

in pennis - x cents;
in nickels - 5(3x) = 15x cents;
in quarters - 25(51 - 4x) cents.

Tota amount = $3.51 = 351 cents.

Hence,

$x+15x+25(51-4x)=351\\ \\x+15x+1,275-100x=351\\ \\x+15x-100x=351-1,275\\ \\-84x=-924\\ \\84x=924\\ \\ x=11$

11 pennies

33 nickels

7 quarters

A= 1/2 h(a+b) solve for b

irakobra [83]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b.

A = $(\frac{1}{2}) (h)(a+b)$

Divide by h and multiply by 2 from both sides.

$\frac{2A}{h} = a+ b$

Subtract a from both sides.

$(\frac{2A}{h} ) - a = b$
