Answer:

Amanda has 17 quarters and 8 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using a system of equations and the substitution method.  Let 'q' be the number of quarters and 'd' be the number of dimes.  We know that the amount of dimes and quarters is $5.15 or:  0.1d + 0.25q = 5.15.  We also know that there are 8 more quarters than dimes:  q = d + 8.  Substituting the expression 'd+ 8' into the first equation will help us solve for 'd':  0.1d + 0.25(d +8) = 5.15.  Using distributive property and inverse operations, we can solve for d:  0.1d + 0.25d + 2 = 5.15 or 0.35d = 3.15 or d = 9.  Since we now know there are 9 dimes, we can solve for 'q':  q = 9 + 8 = 17.

Find the probability of spinning an even number AND rolling an odd number.
Agata [3.3K]
You have a 1/2 chance of spinning an even number on the spinner, and a 1/2 chance of rolling an odd number on the die, 1/2 times 1/2 give you a 1/4 chance of doing both of those tasks.

Find the expression that represents the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs measure m^2-n^2 and 2mn
My name is Ann [436]
\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
------\\
a=m^2-n^2\\
b=2mn
\end{cases}\\\\\\ c^2=(m^2-n^2)^2+(\underline{2mn})^2
\\\\\\
c^2=m^4-2m^2n^2+n^4+\underline{2^2m^2n^2}
\\\\\\
c^2=m^4-2m^2n^2+n^4+{4m^2n^2}
\\\\\\
c^2=m^4+2m^2n^2+n^4\impliedby \textit{perfect square trinomial}
\\\\\\
c^2=(m^2+n^2)^2\implies c=\sqrt{(m^2+n^2)^2}\implies c=m^2+n^2

If f(x) varies directly with x, and f(x) = 12 when x = 8, write the direct linear variation equation.
Feliz [49]
<span>f(x) varies directly with x.
f(x) = kx (k is the constant of proportionality)
if x = 8,
12 = 8 k
k = 12/8
k = 3/2
So the equation would be: 
f(x) = (3/2)x
