Answer:

32 Nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Coins: Nickels (N) and Dimes (D)

$0.05 = 1 nickel and $0.10 = 1 dime

So, the amount implies:

$0.05N + 0.10D = 6.20$

The number of coin implies:

$D = 14 + N$

Required

Determine the number of nickels found

Substitute 14 + N for D in $0.05N + 0.10D = 6.20$

$0.05N + 0.10(14 + N) = 6.20$

$0.05N + 1.4 + 0.10N = 6.20$

Collect Like Terms

$0.05N + 0.10N = 6.20 - 1.4$

$0.15N = 4.8$

Solve for N

$N = 4.8/0.15$

$N = 32$

Hence, he found 32 nickels

Given each of the following areas, what would be the radius of each circle? a. A = 530.66 m2 b. A = 907.46 sq. ft. c. A = 379.94

ra1l [238]

Area for a circle is $A= \pi r^2$ . We will fill in each area and then solve for the radius. $530.66m^2= \pi r^2$ and $\frac{530.66m^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴ $169=r^2$ and r = 13. For b, $907.46ft^2= \pi r^2$ and $\frac{907.46ft^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . $289=r^2$ , ∴ r = 17. For c, $379.94mi^2= \pi r^2$ , and $\frac{379.94mi^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴, $121=r^2$ and r = 11. For d, $1962.5cm^2= \pi r^2$ , and $\frac{1962.5cm^2}{3.14}=r^2$ . ∴, $625=r^2$ so r = 25. And there you have it!

So, let's say you have -5, the opposite of that is 5,opposite numbers always have the sum of 0, just are something about money where you have 2 opposite numbers
