Answer:
There are 23 dimes in the box
Step-by-step explanation:
Let nickels=n
Let dimes=(35-n)
Equation: 0.05n+0.10(35-n)=2.90
Multiply both sides by 100: 5n+10(35-n)=290
-5n+350=290
-5n=-60
n=12
35-12=23
Therefore, there are 23 dimes in the box

Answer:
x = 3 ± 
or
x = 3 +
, x = 3 - 
Step-by-step explanation:
given f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 - 8, find when f(x) = 40
So, we plug in 40 for f(x) in the 1st equation and solve for x. (Aim to got x on its own)
40 = 2 (x - 3)^2 - 8
+ 8 + 8
-----------------------------
48 = 2 (x - 3)^2
/2 /2
-----------------------------
24 = (x - 3)^2
square root both sides
--------------------
= x - 3
x = 3 ± 
You are right. 5 is correct.
20% of 65 = 65 * 1/5, which is 13. so 20% of 65 is $13. so a discount of 20% = 65-13 which is $52
