Answer:

There are 24 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels

Let y represent the number of quarters
—————————————————————

Value Value
Type Number of of
of of each all
Coin Coin Coin Coin
—————————————————————
Nickels | x | $0.05 | $0.05x
Quarters | y | $0.25 | $0.25y
—————————————————————
Totals 28 ——— $2.20
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The first equation comes from the “Number of coins” column.

(Number of nickels) + (Number of quarters) = (total number of coins)

Equation: x + y = 28
—————————————————————
The second equation comes from the “value of all coins” column.

(Value of all nickels) + (Value of all quarters) = (Total value of all coins)

0.05x + 0.25y = 2.20

Remove the decimals by multiplying each term by 100:

5x + 25y = 220
—————————————————————
So we have the system of equations:

{x + y = 28
{5x + 25y = 202

Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 28
y = 28 - x

Substitute (28 - x) for y in 5x + 25y = 220

5x + 25 (28 - x) = 220
5x + 700 - 25x = 220
-20x + 700 = 220
-20x = -480
x = 24

The number of nickels is 24.
————————————————————
Substitute in y = 28 - x
y = 28 - (24)
y = 4

The number of quarters is 4.
————————————————————
Checking:

24 nickels is $1.20 and 4 quarters is $1.00
That’s 28 coins.
Indeed $1.20 + $1.00 = $2.20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-12(x + 4) + 14x = 60

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute -12:                              -12x - 48 + 14x = 60
  2. Combine like terms:                   2x - 48 = 60
  3. Add 48 to both sides:                 2x = 108
  4. Divide 2 on both sides:              x = 54

What is the solution to the equation -2(1+5a)=-6(a+3) ?
Lilit [14]


The solution is a=4

-2(1+5a)=-6(a+3)

-2-10a=-6a-18

+18              +18

16-10a=-6a

     +10a      +10a

16=4a

divide by 4

4=a

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz
KIM [24]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the coordinates of pointD if A(2,-6), B(10,2) and point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio m:n, then

D\left(\dfrac{nx_A+mx_B}{m+n},\dfrac{ny_A+my_B}{m+n}\right)

So

D\left(\dfrac{3\cdot 2+5\cdot 10}{5+3},\dfrac{3\cdot (-6)+5\cdot 2B}{5+3}\right)=D(7,-1)

Point C has the x-coordinate the same as point A and the y-coordinate the same as point D.

Thus, C(2,-1)
