Let us take number of $5 bills = x and

                   number of $10 bills  = y.

Give that "number of $10 bills is twice the number of $5 bills".

So, y is twice of x,

We can setup an equation.

y= 2x                      ............................... equation(1)

Total value of all bills = $125.

We can setup another equation,

5*(number of $5 bills) + 10*(number of $10 bills) =125.

5(x) +10(y) = 125                         ................................... equation(2)

Plugging y=2x in equation(2), we get

5(x) +10(2x) = 125   .

5x+20x = 125.

Adding like terms

25x = 125

Dividing both sides by 25.

25x /25 = 125/25

x= 5.

Plugging x=5 in first equation, we get

y= 2(5) = 10.

Therefore, number of number of $5 bills=5 bills  and number of $10 bills = 10 bills.

Which expressions represent a quadratic expression in factored form?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to start we have to know that they are asking us, a factorized form of a quadratic expression

a quadratic expression is of the form

ax ^ 2 + bx + c

Now the factored form is as follows            

 a ( x - x1 )  ( x - x2 )

Next, let's look at each of the options

In this case we lack a term with x since if we solve we have a linear equation

1.    5(x+9)

  5x + 45

In this case if we pay attention they are being subtracted instead of multiplying, so we will not get a quadratic function

2.    (x+4) - (x+6)

       -2

In this case we have everything we need, now let's try to solve

3.     (x-1) (x-1)

      x^2 - x - x + 1

      x^2 - 2x + 1       quadratic function

In this case we have everything we need, now let's try to solve

4.     (x-3) (x+2)

        x^2 -3x +2x -6

         x^2 -x - 6    quadratic function

In this case we have a quadratic function but we do not have it in its factored form since we can observe the x ^ 2

5.     x^2 + 8x

What’s the mean of all odd integers between 16 and 47
dybincka [34]

Answer:31

Step-by-step explanation: take all of the odd numbers between 16 and 47. To find the mean, or average, you add up all of your numbers and divide that number by how many numbers you started with. all of the odd numbers added together=465. divide that by the 15 odd numbers(divide by 15) and then you have your average.
