Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25
The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73
Now you have a system of equations.
n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73
Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p
Now substitute into the second equation.
0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73
1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73
-0.04p = -0.52
p = 13
There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.
n + 13 = 25
n = 12
There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.
Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.
Answer:
x = 45/17
Step-by-step explanation:
We can move all x to 1 side and all the numbers to another. You can add 8.7 on both sides and get that 2.3x = 0.8x + 4.5. Next, we subtract by 0.8x on both sides to get that 1.7x = 4.5, where we can then divide by 17/10 on both sides to get that x is equal to 45/10 * 10/17, so that means that x = 45/17.

Answer:
9.8 units
Explanation:
According to Pythagoras theorem, the square of length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of lengths of other two sides.
Let the third side be x units.
Then,
x² + 10² = 14²
=> x² + 100 = 196
=> x² = 196 - 100
=> x² = 96
=> x = √96
=> x = 4√6
=> x = 9.79....
=> x = 9.8 (Rounding to the nearest tenths)
So, the length of the third side is 9.8 units.
