Answer:
5 inches is equal to 12.7 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is 2.54 centimeters in an inch so just multiply that by 5 and you get 12.7.
Answer:
14 quarters and 28 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Equations where x = number of quarters and y = number of nickels
(1) equation with value of each coin
0.25(x)+0.05(y) = 4.90
(2) total number of coins
x + y = 42
Solve system of equations using either substitution or elimination
(elimination multiplying equation 2 by -0.5)
.25(x) + 0.05(y) = 4.90
-0.05(x) - 0.05(y) = 42 * (-0.05)
(3) Resulting equation
.20(x) = 2.8
x = 14
plug x into equation 2
14 + y = 42
y = 28
There are 14 quarters and 28 nickels in Mary's collection.

Answer:
21 boxes of books
Step-by-step explanation:
guy= 140 lbs
each box= 40lbs elevator can only weigh up to 1010
i took 1010- 140 and got 870lbs left for the books
then i took 870 divided by 40 (to see how many boxes of books can be put on the elevator) and got 21.75
so 21 boxes could go on the elevator at a time
Write the 2 equations:
5x-2y=18
-5x+3y=-22
You can see that the coefficients of x are opposites, so you can add them(the 2 equations) to eliminate x.
Adding them, you get:
y=-3
So now that you know y, you can substitute the value of y into one of the original equations. Let's substitute it in the first one:
5x+6=18
Solving this, we get:
5x=12
x=12/5
x=12/5, y=-3
