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

one third of a land is on maize, a fifth of the remainder is on potatoes and the rest which is 0.5 ha is on beans. how much of t
disa [49]

Answer: 1250\ m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Total land.

Then for Maize = \dfrac{x}{3}    

For Potatoes = \dfrac15(x-\dfrac {x}{3})=\dfrac15(\dfrac{2x}{3})=\dfrac{2}{15}x

For beans = x- (\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{2}{15}x)=0.5 \ ha

\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{5x+2x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{7x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\  \dfrac{15x-7x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\  \dfrac{8x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\  x=0.5\times\dfrac{15}{8} \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\  x=0.9375 \ ha

1 ha = 10000.00 m²

0.9375 ha = 9375 m²

Land for potatoes = \dfrac{2}{15}(9375) =1250\ m^2

Hence, 1250\ m^2 of the land is on potatoes.

After drawing the line y = 2x − 1 and marking the point A = (−2, 7), Kendall is trying to decide which point on the line is clos
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having drawn the line, Kendall must verify that the point P belongs to the line y = 2x-1 and then calculate the distance between A-P  and verify if it is the closest to A or there is another one of the line

Having the point P(3,5) substitue x to verify y

y=2*(3)-1=6-1=5 (3,5)

Now if the angle formed by A and P is 90º it means that it is the closest point, otherwise that point must be found

d_{AP}=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}=\sqrt{(5-7)^{2}+(3-(-2}))^{2}}=\\\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(5)^{2}}=\sqrt{29}

and we found the distance PQ and QA

; d_{PQ}=\sqrt{125}, d_{QA}=12

be the APQ triangle we must find <APQ through the cosine law (graph 2).
