Answer: 19 quarters; 7 nickels

========================================

Work Shown:

q = number of quarters

n = number of nickels

q+n = 26 because we have 26 coins that are quarters or nickels. Solve for q to get q = 26-n (subtract n from both sides). This will be used in the second equation to replace every copy of 'q' with '26-n'

25*q is the total value of all the quarters, and this value is in cents. Similarly, 5n is the total value of all the nickels (value in cents). The total value of all the coins is 25q+5n which is equal to 510 (since 510 cents = $5.10)

25q+5n = 510

25(q)+5n = 510

25(26-n)+5n = 510 .... replace q with 26-n (see above)

25(26)-25(n)+5n = 510 ... distribute

650-25n+5n = 510

650-20n = 510

650-20n-650 = 510-650 ... subtract 650 from both sides

-20n = -140

-20n/(-20) = -140/(-20) ... divide both sides by -20

n = 7

There are 7 nickels

Use this to find q

q = 26-n

q = 26-7 .... replace n with 7

q = 19

and there are 19 quarters

Given H(6,7) and I(-7,-6), if point G lies 1/2 of the way along line segment HI, Santiago argues that point G is located at the
irinina [24]

Given the points H(6,7) and I(-7,-6).

If point G lies \frac{1}{2} of the way along line segment HI.

Therefore, we can say that the point G divides the line segment HI in the ratio 1:1.

So, by using the cross section formula we can determine the coordinates of point G.

For the given points say (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) divided is in the ratio m_1 : m_2, the coordinates are (\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2} , \frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2} )

Coordinates G = (\frac{(1 \times -7)+(1 \times 6)}{2} , \frac{(1 \times -6)+(1 \times 7)}{2})

= (-0.5 , 0.5)

Hence, the coordinates of G are (-0.5 , 0.5).

So, Santiago argues that point G is located at the origin. The point G is located at (-0.5, 0.5). Therefore, he is not correct.

Answer:

segment IK or KI

Step-by-step explanation:

fgh is a segment of a line and IK is a segment of a line. fh is referring to the whole line so IK would be referring to that line segment.

Kendra used these steps to solve the equation 2x + 5 = 3 + 2(x + 1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 5 = 5?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Hello!

We can solve this algebraically

2x + 5 = 3 + 2(x+1)

Distribute the 2

2x + 5 = 3 + 2x + 2

combine like terms

2x + 5 = 2x + 5

Since both sides of the equation is the same all values of x make the equation true

The answer is A

Hope this helps!
