Answer:

30 Nickels and 188 Pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

okay, so to set up the equation first, we have to assign each coin a variable, let's call them p and n:

P= number of pennies

N= number of nickels

the value of a penny is 1 cent, so 1P, and the value of a nickel is 5 cents, so 5N

The problem states that he has 218 coins, meaning that the total number of pennies and nickels adds up to 218:

P + N = 218

the total value of the coins is $3.38, so that would mean that 1P + 5N has to equal $3.38:

1P + 5N = 338

Okay, so now that we have our equations let's solve them using elimination:

we have to get a common coefficient between both equations, so let's multiply our first equation by 5:

P x 5 = 5P

N x 5 = 5N

218 x 5 = 1090

so, now we can solve by elimination:

5P + 5N = 1090

1P + 5N = 338

the N's cancel out:

4P = 752

divide both sides by 4:

P = 188

okay, so if theres a total of 218 coins, subtract 188 from 218:

218 - 188 = 30

so, there are 30 nickels and 188 pennies.

check our work:

5 x 30 = 150

1 × 188 = 188

150 + 188 = 338

338 = 338

I hope this helps! :)

What is the z-score for a patient who takes 7 days to recover? (choose the closest possibility.)

Kisachek [45]

Based on the time it took the patient to recover and the mean and standard deviation, the z-score is 1.5.

<h3>What is the z-score?</h3>

The z-score for this patient who takes 7 days to recover can be found as:

= (Time taken to recover - Mean) / Standard deviation

Solving for the z-score gives:

= (7 - 5.2) / 1.2

= 1.8 / 1.2

= 1.5

The first part of the question is:

The patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with a mean of 5.2 days and a standard deviation of 1.2 days.

Why are the solutions to the proportions 40/8 = x/10 and x/40 = 10/8 the same?

romanna [79]

Answer:

Both proportions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two proportions $\frac{40}{8}=\frac{x}{10}$ and $\frac{x}{40}=\frac{10}{8}$ . We are asked to find why the solutions to our given proportions are equal.

We can solve proportions by cross multiplying them.

After cross multiplying our both proportions we will get same equation that is:

$40*10=8*x$

$400=8x$

$8*x=40*10$

$8x=400$

Since we get same equation after cross multiplying both proportions, therefore, the solutions to the given proportions would be same.

HELPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll take this step by step. The equation is

$8-3\sqrt[5]{x^3}=-7$

Looks like a hard mess to solve but it's actually quite simple, just do one thing at a time. First thing is to subtract 8 from both sides:

$-3\sqrt[5]{x^3}=-15$

The goal is to isolate the term with the x in it, so that means that the -3 has to go. Divide it away on both sides:

$\sqrt[5]{x^3}=5$

Let's rewrite that radical into exponential form:

$x^{\frac{3}{5}}=5$

If we are going to solve for x, we need to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the power:

$(x^{\frac{3}{5}})^{\frac{5}{3}}=5^{\frac{5}{3}}$

On the left, multiplying the rational exponent by its reciprocal gets rid of the power completely. On the right, let's rewrite that back in radical form to solve it easier:

$x=\sqrt[3]{5^5}$

Let's group that radicad into groups of 3's now to make the simplifying easier:

$x=\sqrt[3]{5^3*5^2}$ because the cubed root of 5 cubed is just 5, so we can pull it out, leaving us with:

$x=5\sqrt[3]{5^2}$ which is the same as:

$x=5\sqrt[3]{25}$
