Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n + d = 12

0.05n + 0.1d = 1 ║ × ( - 10 )

n + d = 12 ..... (1)

- 0.5n - d = - 10 ..... (2)

(1) + (2)

0.5n = 2 ⇒ n = 4

d = 12 - 4 = 8

There are 4 nickels and 8 dimes in the pocket.

Help me please. Find the measures of CAD and DAE

well, we know the "sum" of both angles is 90°, notice the rectangle in the corner, so we can say that the angles are simply complementary angles, thus

$\left( \cfrac{3}{2}x+20 \right)+2x=90\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}x+20 + 2x \right)=2(90)} \\\\\\ 3x+40+4x=180\implies 7x+40=180\implies 7x=140\implies x=\cfrac{140}{7} \\\\\\ x = 20~\hfill \stackrel{\measuredangle CAD}{\cfrac{3}{2}20+20\implies 50}\qquad\qquad \stackrel{\measuredangle DAE}{2(20)\implies 40}$
