Answer: Dimes= 20, Nickels= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking for the amount of coins, we can use system of equations to solve for the amount of coins.

Equation 1:

0.1x+0.05y=2.75

This equation comes from the total cost. x stands for dimes and y stands for nickels. 0.1 is the worth of a dime and 0.05 is the worth of a nickel.

Equation 2:

x=2y-10

This equation comes from 10 less than twice the number of nickels.

We can use substitution to find x and y.

0.1(2y-10)+0.05y=2.75

0.2y-1+0.05y=2.75

0.25y-1=2.75

0.25y=3.75

y=15

There are 15 nickels.

Now that we have y, we can plug it back into the equation to find x.

x=2(15)-10

x=30-10

x=20

There are 20 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of the triangular prism, you need to find the area of all the sides and add them together. The two triangular bases have already been established to have an area of 3 square units each, so together they have an area of 6 units. Two of the rectangular sides have dimensions of 3.5 by 2.5 units, while one has dimensions 3.5 by 3 units. Adding all of this together, you get a total of 34 square inches, or option e. Hope this helps!

How is the graph of y = (-3x)^2 a transformation of the graph of y = x^2?
Lynna [10]
The graph of y = (-3x)^2 is much narrower than it's original graph, but still keeps all of the other properties of it's parent parable y = x^2. The new graph's with is that of the original parabola's with divided by 3.

Lydia writes the equation below with a missing value.
Alex73 [517]

If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.

Lydia writes the equation y = 5x - __ with a missing value.

She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation.

We have to choose the correct option from the given options that explain that the equation could represent a direct variation.

When two variables are such that one is a constant multiple of the other, we said they are in Direct variation.

<h3>What is the direct variation?</h3>

In form of y = ax, where y and x are in direct variation.

Consider the given equation y = 5x  - __

For the equation to be in direct variation the value of the missing term has to be 0.

then the equation becomes,

y = 5x

Thus, If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.

Option (a) is correct.
