Answer:

there are 9 quarters and 19 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dimes and y the number of quarters

-dimes: 0.1x

-quarters: 0.25y

-the total amount of coins : x + y = 28  

=> x = 28 - y

We have the equation:

0.25y + 0.1x = 4.15

0.25y + 0.1(28 - y) = 4.15

0.25y + 2.8 - 0.1y = 4.15

0.15y = 1.35

y = 9

x = 28 - y

  = 28 - 9

  = 19

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

8/33 = 0.242

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 socks to begin with and one is taken;

The second is picked from the remaining 11 and will either match the first or not;

The probability of matching is 1/11 and 10/11 for not matching;

If the sock matches, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 3rd sock is taken;

The 3rd sock is taken from the remaining 10, 1 of which will match with the first sock and another which will match the second;

Therefore, the probability of taking a matching sock on the third pick will by 2/10 or 1/5 and the probability it will not match either of the first two is 8/10 or 4/5;

Once again, if the sock matches either of those previously taken, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 4th sock is taken;

Now, there are 9 socks remaining in the drawer;

Picking is repeated;

The process is logical;

The attached picture shows a tree diagram representing this information in an easily digestible way and makes it easy to work out the desired probability;

With tree, diagrams, you just multiply across until you get to your desired outcome;

In this case, we are finding the probability of picking 5 socks exactly;

Each process splitting represents the picking of a sock;

The probability will be:

10/11 × 8/10 × 6/9 × 4/8 = 8/33 = 0.242...

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the drivers' names or when or where they started. We have made the assumption that the second equation pertains to Kylie.

Each line is plotted with the appropriate slope and y-intercept. The slope is the coefficient of x, and represents the "rise" for each unit of "run" to the right.

What is the y-intercept for 10x+4y=20
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

find the x- and y-intercepts:

10x + 4y = 20

finding x-intercept when y = 0

 

10x = 20  

x = 2  Pt(2,0) the x intercept

finding y-intercept when x = 0

4y = 20

y = 5  Pt(0,5) the y intercept
