Answer:

36 quarters 48 dimes 64 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

quarter = q

dime = q+12

nickel = 2q-8

$17 = 1,700 cents

(q)25 + (q+12)10 + (2q-8)5 = 1,700

25q +10q+120 +10q-40 =1,700

45q+80 = 1,700

45q = 1620

q= 36

36 QUARTERS x25 = 900cents

48 DIMES x10 = 480 cents

64 NICKELS x 5 = 320 cents

TOTAL 1,700 cents ($17)

Please can anyone solve 9n-10=4n+10

olasank [31]

Yes

remember you can do anything to an equaiton as long as you do it to boh sides
ad try to get unknown to one side
9n-10=4n+10
minus 4n both sides
9n-4n-10=4n-4n+10
5n-10=0+10
add 10
5n+10-10=0+10+10
5n+0=20
5n=20
divide both sies by 5
5n/5=20/5
5/5n=4
1n=4
n=4

Find the slope of a line that passes through (-2,1) and (4,9)

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

m = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line use the formula, where "m" means slope:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

*You don't need to show this part on paper*

Choose which point you want to be point 1 and point 2. Remember the points are written (x, y).

Point 1: (-2, 1) x₁ = -2 y₁ = 1

Point 2: (4, 9) x₂ = 4 y₂ = 9

Substitute the coordinates into the formula:

*Show this part on paper*

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

$m=\frac{9-1 }{4-(-2) }$ Simplify

$m=\frac{8 }{6 }$ Reduce by dividing by 2

$m=\frac{4 }{3 }$ Slope

The slope of the line is 4/3

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ. Which proportion can be used to find the measure of the missing side?

lisov135 [29]

I'm not sure what side is missing but you could use the proportions

A/B=X/Y or B/C=Y/Z or CA/=ZX. it also works if you reverse this for example B/A=Y/X
