Answer:

He received 10 dimes and 15 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimes = $0.10

Quarters = $0.25

Variable x = dimes

Variable y = quarters

Create a pair of linear equations:

0.10x + 0.25y = 4.75

x + y = 25

Isolate any variable, using an equation of your choice:

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y

Plug in this new value of x into the other equation:

0.10(25 - y) + 0.25y = 4.75

Use the distributive property:

2.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 4.75

Combine like terms:

2.5 + 0.15y = 4.75

Isolate variable y:

0.15y = 2.25

y = 15

Plug in the value of y into any equation:

x + y = 25

x + 15 = 25

Isolate variable x:

x = 10

Javier jogs 34 of a mile in 812 minutes.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

3/4th of a mile jogs in 8 1/2 minutes.

Let us convert 8 1/2 into improper fraction first, 8 1/2 = (8*2+1)/2 = 17/2 minutes.

In order to find the number of minutes required to to cover 1 mile of distance, we need to divide given number of minutes by given number of miles.

Therefore, number of minutes does it take him to jog 1 mile 17/2 ÷3/4

Let us convert division sign into multiplication.

The second fraction will get flip, we get

17/2 × 4/3 = 17 x 2/3 = 34/3

Converting 34/3 into mixed fractions, we get quotient =11 and remainder =1.

Therefore, 34/3 = 11 1/3.

Therefore, 11 1/3 minutes does it take him to jog 1 mile.

Hope this helps!

Using the law of cosines, what is m&lt;X<br> 61, 79, 82, 91
joja [24]
Answer: 79°


Explanation:


1) Law of cosines:


In a triangle with sides a, b, c whose opposite angles are, respectively, A, B and C, the law of cosines states:

c² = a² + b² - 2 a×b×cos (C)

2) In the triangle of the figure you have

c = 9
C = X
a = 6
b = 8
⇒ 9² = 6² + 8² - 2(6)(8) cos(X)
⇒ 81 = 36 + 64 - 96cos(X)
⇒ 96cos(X) = 36 + 64 - 81 = 19
⇒ cos(X) = 19 / 96 
⇒ X = arccos(19/26) = 78.6° ≈ 79°

Evaluate negative 3 to the power of 2 + (2-6)(10)<br><br><br> Please help!
Tom [10]

Answer:

(2-6)(10) plus 3 to the power of 2, is <u>-31</u>.

Explanation:

Three to the power of two plus parenthesis two minus six parenthesis parenthesis ten. This is the same as the sum or addition of 3 times 3(3 times itself two times), and 2 minus 6 times 10.

This expression can be represented by (3^2) + (2-6)(10) which is (3 × 3) + (-4 × 10) which is 9 + -40 which simplifies to -31
