Answer: 14 nickels and 18 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of nickels , y = Number of quarters

As per given , we have

x+ y= 32            (i)

0.05x+0.25y= 5.20              (ii)

Multiply (ii) by 4 , we get

0.2x+y = 20.8          (iii)

Subtract (iii) from (i) , we get

0.8x = 11.2

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{11.2}{0.8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x = 14

Put value of x in (i) , we get

y =32-14 = 18

Hence, we have 14 nickels and 18 quarters.

Find the value of the variable.
nalin [4]

Answer:

The variable, y is 11°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

in triangle ΔABC;          {}              in triangle ΔFGH;

Segment \overline {AB} = 14         {}               Segment \overline {FG} = 14

Segment \overline {BC} = 27         {}              Segment \overline {GH} = 19

Segment \overline {AC} = 19         {}               Segment \overline {FH} = 2·y + 5

∡A = 32°                       {}                ∡G = 32°

∡A = ∠BAC which is the angle formed by segments \overline {AB} = 14 and \overline {AC} = 19

Therefore, segment \overline {BC} = 27, is the segment opposite to ∡A = 32°

Similarly, ∡G = ∠FGH which is the angle formed by segments \overline {FG} = 14 and \overline {GH} = 19

Therefore, segment \overline {FH} = 2·y + 5, is the segment opposite to ∡A = 32° and triangle ΔABC ≅ ΔFGH by Side-Angle-Side congruency rule which gives;

\overline {FH} ≅ \overline {BC} by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)

∴ \overline {FH} = \overline {BC} = 27° y definition of congruency

\overline {FH} = 2·y + 5 = 27° by transitive property

∴ 2·y + 5 = 27°

2·y = 27° - 5° = 22°

y = 22°/2 = 11°

The variable, y = 11°

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (1,-3) and is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21
docker41 [41]

The linear equation that is perpendicular to the line x+3y=21 is:

y = 3*x - 6

<h3>How to find the equation of the line?</h3>

A general line in the slope-intercept form is written as:

y = m*x + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two linear equations are perpendicular if the product between the two slopes is equal to -1.

Rewriting the given line we can get:

x +3y = 21

3y = 21 - x

y = 21/3 - x/3

y = (-1/3)*x + 21/3

Then the slope is (-1/3), if our line is perpendicular to this one, then:

m*(-1/3) = -1

m = 3

our line is:

y = 3*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the fact that our line passes through (1, - 3)

-3 = 3*1 + b

-3 - 3 = b

-6 = b

The line is y = 3*x - 6

Suppose a + b = 0.
Digiron [165]
I'm pretty sure that it's b. That's assuming that you find the negative of b^2 and not the square of negative b.

Find the area of the following rectangle.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A = \frac{55}{72} yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area ( A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width

  = \frac{5}{6} × \frac{11}{12}

 = \frac{5(11)}{6(12)}

 = \frac{55}{72} yd²
