Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the triangles is similar, so we have ...
3/5 = (3+x)/20
x = 20(3/5) -3
x = 9
__
4/5 = (4+y)/20
y = 20(4/5) -4
y = 12
__
3/5 = (3 + x + u)/60
u = 60(3/5) -3 -9
u = 24
__
4/5 = (4 +y +v)/60
v = 60(4/5) -4 -12
v = 32
Use the Pythagorean theorem!
This principle applies to any right triangles.
This states the relationship between the sides that
(7)² + (24)² = x²
All you have to do is simplify at this point.
49 + 576 = x²
625 = x²
√ √
x = 25
You should try to memorize this right triangle. It can be very helpful in fast questionnaires, such as the SAT.
Given:
The system of equations that represent the constraints for the given situation is
To find:
The solution of given system of equations.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
...(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 4.
...(iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (ii), we get
Divide both sides by 12.90.
Put this value in (i).
The solution of system of equations is x=1.5 and y=2.75. It means, the yards of silk are 1.5 and yards of cotton are 2.75.

Answer:
24 quarters and 49 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of nickels and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
- n+q=73 is an equation representing the total number of coins
- 0.05n+0.25q=8.45 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.05 and 0.25 come from the value of a nickel and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get n=73-q. We now substitute this for n in the second equation.
0.05(73-q)+0.25q=8.45
3.65-0.05q+0.25q=8.45
3.65+0.20q=8.45
After simplifying, we subtract 3.65 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
0.20q=4.8
q=24
We now know of the 73 coins that 24 are quarters. To find the number of nickels, we subtract 24 from 73 and get 49 nickels.
