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

So D would be going up because it is positive. It is going up 10ft, once again cause the integer is a positive 10. Now E will be going down because it is a negative. Therefore it will go down 15ft for the reason being the integer is negative 15. Hope this helps.

a rectangular pool is 20 ft wide and 50 ft long. the deck is the same width all the way around the pool. the total area of the d

Alex

First, we need to get the total area of the rectangular pool.
Area = l * w
Area = 20 ft * 50 ft
Area = 1000 ft^2

Then the deck is 456 ft^2 with the width of 20ft, the same as the rectangular pool.

Area = l * w
456 = l * 20
l = 456 / 20
l = 22.8 ft.

So the walkway is 22.8ft wide.

If we were to put this in terms of a venn diagram, we would have 360 owning only brand X, 500 owning only brand Y, and 80 in between, owning both. Therefore, 80 out of the 580 owners of brand Y may have X as well, which we put into fraction form 80/580, and reduce to 4/29.
