So the equaiton is

number of nickes=n
number of quarters=q

if you have 1 quarter then you have 25 cents so we will represent like this
25q

and nickles is 5n
14.50=1450 cents

so
25q+5n=1480
q+n=88
subtract q from both sides
n=88-q
subsitute into first equation
25q+5(88-q)=1480
25q+440-5q=1480
add like terms
20q+440=1480
subtract 440 from both sides
20q=1040
divide both sdies by 20
q=52
there were 52 quarters
25(52)+5n=1480
1300+5n=1480
subtract 1300 from both sides
5n=180
divide both sides by 5
n=36
there were 36 nickels


nickles=36
quarters=52

Which expressions are equivalent to the given sort 40 (there is more than one and the one selected is correct)
Basile [38]

Answer:

40 {}^{ \frac{1}{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

The last one is also the answer

Using the rational exponet rule,

\sqrt[n]{ {x}^{m} }  = x {}^{ \frac{m}{n} }

Using this number,

\sqrt{40}

40 is the base so it will stay same. Remember this is a square root sign so our nth root is 2 so our denominator if the rational exponet is 2.

40 {}^{1}  = 40

so our numerator is 1 so

40 {}^{ \frac{1}{2} }

Describe how the graph of y=log (10 000x) is related to the graph of y=log x
Nana76 [90]
Background: log (a . b) = log a + log b 
hence log(10000x) = log 10000 + log x but we know that log 10000 = 4
                               = 4 + log x 
therefore the graph of log(10000x) is just the graph of log x transposed by 4
