Lian has $1.00. She has only nickels and dimes. Lian has twice as many dimes as nickels. How many dimes does she have?

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Lian has \$1.00 and she has twice as many dimes as nickels

Suppose she has x nickels

So, the number of dimes is 2x

Nickel is equivalent to 5 cents and dime is equivalent to 10 cent

\therefore \ x(0.05)+2x(0.1)=1\\\Rightarrow 0.05x+0.2x=1\\\Rightarrow 0.25x=1\\\Rightarrow x=4

Therefore she has 8 dimes with her.

Solve each equation 3x^2=80
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

x = \frac{4\sqrt{15}}{3}, x = \frac{-4\sqrt{15}}{3}

or

x = \frac{\pm4\sqrt{15}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Use the quadratic formula: x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

First, let's convert our equation to standard form of a Quadratic: ax² + bx + c = 0

3x² = 80

3x² - 80 = 0

Note, thats the value of b will be 0, as there is no "bx"

Now, solve:

  • x = \frac{-(0) \pm \sqrt{(0)^2 - 4(3)(-80)}}{2(3)}        Plug in values
  • x = \frac{\pm\sqrt{960}}{6}                              Simplify the radical (Discriminant)
  • x = \frac{\pm8\sqrt{15}}{6}                              Pull out perfect squares
  • x = \frac{4\sqrt{15}}{3}, x = \frac{-4\sqrt{15}}{3}              Reduce factors

 

The solutions are x = \frac{4\sqrt{15}}{3}, x = \frac{-4\sqrt{15}}{3}

Can anyone help me on this problem? Please it doesn’t make sense to me...
Sav [38]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:

120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16

Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...

120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)

0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms

n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller

(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic

The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.

The woman bought 6 items.

_____

Check

When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.
