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

Pamela is incorrect. When you multiply anything negative by a negative, the product will always be a positive. Because the two negative signs cancel each other out.

Use summation notation to write the series 49 + 54 + 59 +... for 14 terms.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Arithmetic sequence states that a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

it is given by:  a_n = a+(n-1)d where a is the first term , n is the number of term and d is the common difference.

Given the series: 49 + 54 + 59+ ......

here, Common difference(d) = 5

First term(a) = 49

by definition we have;

For nth term

a_n = a+(n-1)d

a_n = 49+(n-1)5

a_n =49+5n -5 = 5n + 44

To write the series using summation notation for 14 terms

Summation symbol '\sum'

The series for 14th terms is given by;

\sum_{n=1}^{14}(5n +44)
