Answer: 22 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N be the number of nickels.

Then the number of quarters is (55-N)

The nickels  contribute 5N cents to the total.

The quarters contribute 25*(55-N) cents to the total.

5N + 25*(55-N) = 715

5N + 1375 - 25N = 715

-20N = 715 - 1375 = -660

N=\frac{-660}{-20}

=33

55-33=22

So there is 22 quarters inside the jar.

Check to see if my answer is correct-

33*5 + 22*25 = 715 cents

Which type of transformation is described by (x, y)<br> -&gt;<br> + (x + 3, y — 2)?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

(x, y) → (x+3, y-2) means Translation 3 units left and 2 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rule of transformation:

(x, y) → (x+3, y-2)

If we move horizontally 3 units to the right, 3 is added to the x-coordinate of any given point, and then 2 units down.

In other words,

(x, y) → (x+3, y-2) means Translation 3 units left and 2 units down.

For example,

Let say if we have the point A(4, 5)

Using the translation rule:

(x, y) → (x+3, y-2)

A(4, 5) → A'(4 + 3, 5 - 2) → A'(7, 3)

Therefore, the new position of A(4, 5) after translating 3 units left and 2 units down would be: A'(7, 3)

Y= |x−3| + |x+2| − |x−5|, if x&gt;5<br> I need to know what y equals.
olganol [36]

Answer:

y  \ge9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y =  |x - 3|   +  |x  + 2|  -  |x - 5|

By the triangle inequality property,

|x + y|  \leqslant  |x|  +  |y|

and the alternate triangle inequality property;

|x - y|  \geqslant  |x|  -  |y|

We apply this property to get:

y  \geqslant   |x |    - |3|    +  |x |  +  |2|  -(  |x |  -  |5| )

Expand parenthesis to get:

y  \geqslant   |x |    - |3|    +  |x |  +  |2|  - |x |   +   |5|

Simplify to get:

y  \geqslant   |x |    - 3+  |x |  +  2- |x |   +   5

Group similar terms to get:

y  \geqslant   |x |  +   |x | - |x |    - 3 + 2+   5

y  \geqslant   |x |   + 4

When x>5,

y  \geqslant   |5 |   + 4

That's;

y  \geqslant   5  + 4   \\ y  \geqslant   9
