What is the value of x ??

Suppose Ken has 25 coins and nickels and dimes only and has a total of a $1.65 how many of each coin does he have?

nikklg [1K]

$x-\ number\ of\ nickels\\
y-\ number\ of\ dimes\\\\
x+y=25 \ \ \ | x=25-y\\
0.05x+0.1y=1.65\\\\
0.05(25-y)+0.1y=1.65\\\\
1.25-0.05y+0.1y=1.65\\\\
1.25+0.05y=1.65\ \ \ | subtract\ 1.25\\\\
0.05y=0.4\ \ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 0.05\\\\
y=8\\\\
x=25-8=17\\\\
There\ are\ 17 \ nickels\ and\ 8\ dimes.

The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:

Thus the distance between points t(13, 1.6) and v(5.4, 3.7) is found using the formula as:

to build the garden of your dreams you need 11 m^3 of coil containing 46% clay. you have two types of soil you can combine to ac

aivan3 [116]

Answer: 9m^3 of soil with 50% clay and 2m^3 of soil with 28% clay is required

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of the soil containing 50% clay that you would use.

Let y represent the quantity of the soil containing 28% clay that you would use.

To build the garden of your dreams you need 11 m^3 of soil.

x + y = 11 - - - - - - - - -1

Since the soil must contain 46% clay, the total amount of clay required is 46/100 × 11 = 5.06 m^3.

you have two types of soil you can combine to achieve this: soil with 50% clay and soil with 28% clay. This means that the quantity of both soils required to achieve 5.06 m^3 will be

0.5x + 0.28y = 5.06 - - - - - - - -2

Substituting x = 11 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.5(11 - y) + 0.28y = 5.06

5.5 - 0.5y + 0.28y = 5.06

- 0.5y + 0.28y = 5.06 - 5.5

- 0.22y = - 0.44

y = - 0.44/ -0.22 = 2

Substituting y = 2 into x = 11 - y, it becomes

x = 11 - 2 = 9

The diagram below shows a square inside a regular octagon. The apothem of the octagon is 15.69 units. To the nearest square unit

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

C. 647 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the shaded area, subtract the area of the unshaded square from the area of the octagon.

Area of the octagon

$\textsf{Area of a regular polygon}=\dfrac{n\:l\:a}{2}$

where:

n = number of sides
l = length of one side
a = apothem

Given:

n = 8
l = 13
a = 15.69

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for A:

$\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf \dfrac{8 \cdot 13 \cdot 15.69}{2}$

$\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf \dfrac{1631.76}{2}$

$\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf 815.88\:\:square \:units$

Area of the square

$\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf 13^2=169 \:\:square \:units$

Area of the shaded region

= area of the octagon - area of the square

= 815.88 - 169

= 646.88

= 647 square units (nearest square unit)
