Answer:

7 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the guess method.

17 coins altogether, and as many dimes as pennies.

The number of quarters must be odd. When you subtract an odd number of quarters from 17, you get an even number which will divide by 2 evenly giving you the same number of pennies and dimes.

Start with a guess of 7 quarters.

17 - 7 = 10

7 quarters + 5 pennies + 5 dimes have a value of $2.30

Wow, I got it with the first guess.

Answer: 7 quarters

Answer:The equation would be 230 = 25y + 10x + 1x or 230 = 25y + 11x

You would then need to solve for x and y, which I forget how to do with 2 variables but since we're working with small numbers what I would do is continuously subtract 25 from 230 until the remainder is divisible by 11.

230 - 25*7 = 55 = 11*5

x = 5

Ok, adding the equation 2x+y = 17 you will now be able to solve for the two variables using a system of equations.

yes, you can come up with an equation. actually, you can come up several equations to generate a system of equations.

your first equation is correct.

(1) 25q + 10d + 1p = 230

now, you're told that the number of dimes equals the number of pennies. that just means, in symbols:

(2) d = p

finally, you're told that you have 17 coins in all, i.e.:

(3) q + d + p = 17

you now have three equations and three unknowns. use (2) to reduce (1) and (3).

(1′) 25q + 11d = 230

(3′) q + 2d = 17

now solve for the three variables.

180-96= 84
That means 8x+12=84
84-12=72
That means 8x=72
72÷8=9
therefore X=9

****ASAP*****<br> can someone pls help me with this? and can you describe it please?
Studentka2010 [4]

Add 165 to 245. That is a total of 410kWh.

245kWh is more than 50% of 410kWh.

So, according to the plan, you will pay NightTimer rate for kWh at night and DayTimer rate during the day.

The work done:

(165*0.05281)+(245*0.05456)\\8.71365+13.3674=22.08085

The raw, accurate, answer is that the value to pay is $22.08085.

In real terms, it is closer to your $22.08 option. That is the one I'd take.

For the diagram below, form an equation and then solve it to calculate the value of x
Talja [164]
You apply the sum of interior angles formula ie. (n-2)180. n=number of sides
since a pentagon has 5 sides it will be (5-2)180=540.
now add everything. x-5+x-6+2x-7+x+2x-2=540.
Solve for x: 7x-20=540
7x=540+20
7x=560
x=560/7
x=80

Write the equation of a line with a slope of 5 and contains the point (-6, 2)
tigry1 [53]
I think the answer would be y=5x-3/5. You would use the point slope formula(y=mx+b) and plug in 5 for m and the x and y of the point for x and y. Solve for b and the plug in b and 5 into the point slope formula to get the answer! Hope it helps!!
