Answer:

19 dimes and 9 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Model the situation using two equations, then solve the system.

let n be number of nickels and d be number of dimes.

n + d = 28     <= This equation is about the number of coins.

0.05n + 0.10d =  2.35   <=This equation is about the worth in dollars.

Rearrange n + d = 28.

n = 28 - d

Now we can substitute this equation into the other one.

Sub n =28-d at the "d" variable for the equation 0.05n + 0.10d =  2.35

0.05n + 0.10d =  2.35

Now there is only one variable.

0.05(28 - d) + 0.10d =  2.35   <=distribute this

0.05(28 - d) + 0.10d =  2.35

1.4 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 2.35   <=combine like terms

1.4 + 0.05d = 2.35    <= begin to isolate d

0.05d = 2.35 - 1.4

0.05d = 0.95

d = 0.95/0.05

d = 19

Now that we know d=19, we can substitute it into any equation.

Choose the equation n + d = 28 because the numbers are easier.

n + d = 28

n + 19 = 28    <=isolate n

n = 28 - 19

n = 9

Since n=9 and d=19, Kay has 9 nickels and 19 dimes.

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x2+3-5x-10. Has she expanded it correctly? Please identify the mistakes and write the correct wa
Nimfa-mama [501]

The given expression is :

2xx+3-5(x-2)

We know that, x{\cdot}x=x^2

=2x^2+3-5(x-2)\\\\=2x^2+3+(-5)(x)+(-5)(-2)\\\\=2x^2+3-5x+10

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x²+3-5x-10. She is mistaken because the sign before 10 should be +10 instead of -10. Hence, the correct expanded form is 2x²+3-5x+10. Hence, this is the required solution.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this method, each group of 60 players do not have the same chance of being selected.

Also with this method, the selection will not be uniformly distributed among the 30 teams. Some teams will have more players, some will have few and some will have no player selected at all.

Which expressions is equivalent ?
agasfer [191]
<h3>3 Answers: Choice C, Choice D, Choice F</h3>

What these expressions have in common is that their exponents multiply to 16

  • (-4)*(-4) = 16 for choice C
  • (-2)*(-8) = 16 for choice D
  • 8*2 = 16 for choice F

The rule used here is (a^b)^c = a^(b*c). We multiply the exponents and keep the base the same.
