Answer:

Joey has 18 nickles and 27 dimes in his piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 nickle = 5 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

$1 = 100 cents

$3.15 = 135 cents

Let

n represent the number of nickles, n>=0

d represent the number of dimes, d>=0

Joey counted a total of 45 coins that added up to $3.15:

n + d = 45

5n + 10d = 315

n = 18 nickles

d = 27 dimes

Which expression is equivalent to this: "3 multiplied by z"?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

3z

Step-by-step explanation:

When you write a number followed by a variable with no operation in between them, it means multiplication.

3 multiplied by z is 3 * z, but you can write it without the multiplication sign simply as 3z.

The graph of the quadratic function y = ax^2 + bx + c is given.<br> Find a + b + c.

Answer:

$\frac{145}{24}\approx 6$ ***

Answers may vary depending on the person reading the graph.

It is hard to tell what they think crosses nicely.

For example, I decided that the graph crossed nicely at the following points:

$(0,3)$

$(2,8)$

$(6,5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

I see that the graph crosses at $(0,3)$ , $(2,8)$ , and $(6,5)$ .

The equation $y=ax^2+bx+c$ tells us the $y$ -intercept is $c$ since when $x=0$ we have $y=a(0)^2+b(0)+c=0+0+c=c$ .

The $y$ -intercept for our graph is $3$ . Therefore, $c=3$ .

So far we have the equation:

$y=ax^2+bx+3$ .

Let's enter the other points creating a system of linear equations to solve:

$8=a(2)^2+b(2)+3$

$5=a(6)^2+b(6)+3$

Let's simplify:

$8=4a+2b+3$

$5=36a+6b+3$

Let's subtract 3 on both sides:

$5=4a+2b$

$2=36a+6b$

I choose to solve the system by elimination.

Let's multiply the top equation by -3:

$-15=-12a-6b$

$2=36a+6b$

Now adding the equations results in:

$-13=24a$

Divide both sides by 24:

$\frac{-13}{24}=a$

Now using one of the equations we can find $b$ :

$5=4a+2b$ with $a=\frac{-13}{24}$

$5=4\frac{-13}{24}+2b$

$5=\frac{-13}{6}+2b$

Add 13/6 on both sides:

$5+\frac{13}{6}=2b$

$\frac{30+13}{6}=2b$

$\frac{43}{6}=2b$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{43}{2(6)}=b$

$\frac{43}{12}=b$

So we have the equation:

$y=\frac{-13}{24}x^2+\frac{43}{12}+3$

Let's evaluate $a+b+c$ now:

$\frac{-13}{24}+\frac{43}{12}+3$

$\frac{-13+86+72}{24}$

$\frac{73+72}{24}$

$\frac{145}{24}$

First find the number of girls in her class.

29 student - 21 boys = 8 girls

So, the ratio of girls to boys is:

8 girls:21 boys

Or just:
