Part of the proceeds from a garage sale was $470 worth of $10 and $20 bills. If there were 14 more $10 bills than $20 bills, fin

Brums [2.3K]

There are 25 $10 bills and 11 $20 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Worth of proceeds from garage = $470

Let,

x be the number of $10 bills

y be the number of $20 bills.

According to given situation;

10x+20y=470 Eqn 1

x = y+14 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$10(y+14)+20y=470\\10y+140+20y=470\\30y=470-140\\30y=330$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30y}{30}=\frac{330}{30}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 2

$x=11+14\\x=25$

There are 25 $10 bills and 11 $20 bills.

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.. . B(6, 2), m = -

Leni [432]

General form of Equation of straight line is:
y=m x + b
m=-1/2 passing through (6,2)
plug these values in general form,we get
2=-1/2(6)+b
2=-3+b
5=b
Hence,
y=(-1/2)x + 5
Rewriting to make it in General form:
-1/2 x + y - 5 = 0

Shane is using pieces of square paper to cover a cube shaped gift with sides that are 9 inches long to find out the area of the

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The area of the cube is 486 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the area of cube with side 9 inch.

Mathematically, the area can be calculated using the formula A = 6s^2

Now, what we need to do is to substitute 9 inches for s

Thus, A = 6 * 9^2

A = 6 * 81

A = 486 inches^2
