Answer:
250 nickles
Step-by-step explanation:
Nickles and dimes are coins with different currency values. One nickel(N) is equal to 5 cents while one dime(D) is equal to 10 cents. The ratio of nickel:dime is 5:7, to put into the equation it will be:
N/D= 5/7
7N=5D ---> 1st equation
There are 350 dimes, the equation will be:
D=350 ----> 2nd equation
We can find out the number of nickels by substitute the 2nd equation into the first. The calculation will be
7N=5D
N= 5D/7
N=5(350)/7
N= 250
This means making the fraction reduced to its lowest term
example=
make the fraction 18xz/4z simpler
the z cancels each other making it remaining 18x/4
2 can go in x as in 18
=9x/2
so the simpler form of the fraction 18xz/4z
=9x/2
3/9 + 1/2 = 5/6
2 1/3 + 2 1/4 = 4 and 7/12
The center is at origin O(0,0).
If it contains the point, P(-8,6), then the radius r is, by Pythagoras theorem,
r=sqrt((-8)^2+6^2)=10
The general equation of a circle at centre (xc,yc) with radius r is given by
(x-xc)^2+(y-yc)^2=r^2
Substituting r=10, (xc,yc)=(0,0)
the resulting equation is therefore
(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2
or simply
x^2+y^2=100
