Answer:

  • 18 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes be d and quarters be q

<u>The value is $8.80 = 880¢, so:</u>

  • 10d + 25q = 880 ⇒ 2d + 5q = 176

<u>If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the coins' total value would be $7.30 or 730¢</u>

  • 25d + 10q = 730 ⇒ 5d + 2q = 146

<u>Now we have 2 equations. Solving the system by elimination, subtract 5 times the second equation from twice the first equation:</u>

  • 2(2d + 5q) - 5(5d + 2q) = 2(176) - 5(146)
  • 4d - 25d = -378
  • -21d = -378
  • d = -378/-21
  • d = 18

(t+9)20=140 what is t
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

t=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(t+9)20=140

Distribute the 20

20t +180 = 140

Subtract 180 from each side

20t +180-180 = 140-180

20t = -40

Divide by 20

20t/20 = -40/20

t=-2

-2(x - 5) = -14 PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPPP
juin [17]
Okay so you need to start off by using the distributive property, meaning you are going to multiply -2 by both items within the parentheses. this gives you -2x + 10 = -14. from here you want to isolate x, so you’ll subtract both sides by 10 to move it to the other side. this gives you -2x=-24. then you’ll divide both sides by -2 to completely isolate x. this gives you x=12. does that make sense?

An observer (O) is located 500 feet from a school (S). The observer notices a bird (B) flying at a 39° angle of elevation from h
Serhud [2]

Answer:

h=404.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for side h, which is opposite of the observer. We know that the side adjacent to the observer is 500 feet. We also know that the angle from the observer to the bird is 39°. Because we have these values, SOH CAH TOA tells us that we should use tangent, opposite over adjacent.

We can set up our equation as follows:

tan(39°)=h/500

We can then solve for h:

500*tan(39°)=h

h=404.89

  • Addition Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = 2x + 3

y = x + 2

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

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                                                                                                  2x + 3 = x + 2
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides:                         x + 3 = 2
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 3 on both sides:                        x = -1

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em> [Original Equation]:                                                                  y = -1 + 2
  2. Add:                                                                                                                    y = 1
