Number of nickels plus number of dimes equals total number of coins
so
n + d = 40
then they tell us that "there are seven times as many dimes as there are nickels"
this translates to
d = 7n
we then plug that into our first equation
and get
n + 7n = 40
then we solve for n
add like terms
8n = 40
then divide both sides by 8
n = 40/8 = 5
therefore Jimmy has 5 nickels
The equivalent answer to this expression is found by using the distributive property.
(-2a - 12)
Simply multiply the negative 2 into the second parenthesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
tan(Θ + 30°)
Use angle sum formula:
tan(A + B) = (tan A + tan B) / (1 − tan A tan B)
So we can write this as:
(tan Θ + tan 30°) / (1 − tan Θ tan 30°)
tan 30° = 1/√3, so:
(tan Θ + 1/√3) / (1 − 1/√3 tan Θ)
Multiply top and bottom by √3:
(√3 tan Θ + 1) / (√3 − tan Θ)
To get the equivalent of 3/5, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number. So, multiply 3/5 by 2 and you will get 6/10. Multiply 3/5 by 3 and you will get 9/15. <em><u>The equivalent fractions of 3/5 are 6/10 and 9/15.</u></em>
Hope it helps :)
