Let P = number of coins of pennies (1 penny = 1 cent)
Let N = number of coins of nickels (1 nickel = 5 cents)
Let D = number of coins of dimes (1 dime = 10 cents)
Let Q = number of coins of quarters (1 quarter = 25 cents)
a) P + N + D + Q = 284 coins, but P = 173 coins, then:
173 + N + D + Q =284 coins
(1) N + D + Q = 111 coins
b) D = N + 5 OR D - N =5 coins
(2) D - N = 5 coins
c) Let's find the VALUE in CENTS of (1) that is N + D + Q = 111 coins
5N + 10D + 25 Q = 2,278 - 173 (1 PENNY)
(3) 5N + 10D + 25Q = 2105 cents
Now we have 3 equation with 3 variables:
(1) N + D + Q = 111 coins
(2) D - N = 5 coins
(3) 5N + 10D + 25Q = 2105 cents
Solving it gives:
17 coins N ( x 5 = 85 cents)
22 coins D ( x 10 = 220 cents)
72 coins D ( x 25 = 1,800 cents)
and 173 P,
proof:
that makes a total of 85+2201800+172 =2,278 c or $22.78
Hmmm, I'm guessing your asking if that's correct, if so, yes
Answer:
y + 20 = 9(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the lie
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 20) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 79)
m = 
= 
= 9
Using (a, b) = (- 2, - 20), then
y - (- 20) = 9(x - (- 2)), that is
y + 20 = 9(x + 2)
So the ratio of "The scale on a map indicates that 1 inch corresponds to an actual distance of 95 miles.", is...
Scale on map : Actual Distance
1 : 95 miles
We need to find the actual distance for 4.5 inches on the map.
4.5 : x
Just multiply 4.5 with 95 and you would get 427.5 miles.
So the actual distance between the two cities is 427.5 miles.
