Answer:

There are 9 dimes and 18 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = be the number of dimes

n = be the number of nickels

d + n = 27...eq.1

0.10d + 0.05n = 1.80...eq.2

Solve the system of equations

d + n = 27

10d + 5n = 180 ( multiply eq.2 by 100 )

-5d - 5n = -135

5d = 45

d = 9 , there are 9 dimes so,0.90

n = 27 - 9 = 18, there are 18 nickels so, 0.90

To check: 9 dimes + 18 nickels = 27 coins

0.90 + 0.90 = $ 1.80 total value of the coins

The figure below is a square. Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal forms two 45-45-90 triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both. The Pythagorean Theorem states that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where $c$ is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and $a$ and $b$ are the two legs of the triangle.

From the Isosceles Base Theorem, the two legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are always equal. Since we're given a diagonal of $\sqrt{5}$ , we have:

$x^2+x^2=\sqrt{5}^2,\\2x^2=5,\\x^2=\frac{5}{2},\\x=\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}}$

Complete the square to transform the quadratic equation into the form (x – p)2 = q.

ryzh [129]

The transformed equation is:

$(x-3)^2 = 23$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to convert the equation in the form

$(x-p)^2 = q$

Given equation is:

$x^2-6x-8 = 6$

Adding 8 on both sides

$x^2-6x-8+8 = 6+8\\x^2-6x = 14$

In the given equation

a = x

b= ?

So,

$2.x.b = 6x\\b =\frac{6x}{2x}\\b = 3\\$

So 3^2 will be added on both sides

$(x)^2-6x+ (3) = 14+ (3)^2\\(x-3)^2 = 14+9\\(x-3)^2 = 23$

Hence,

The transformed equation is:

$(x-3)^2 = 23$
