Juliette [100K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

n = 12, q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The simultaneous equation that represents the expression is;

n + q = 21 .......... 1

0.05n + 0.25q = 2.85 ........ 2

Multiply equation 2 by 100 to have;

5n + 25q = 285

n + 5q = 57

____________________________________

n + 5q = 57

n + q = 21

Substract the resulting equations

5q-q = 57-21

4q = 36

q = 36/4

q = 9

Substitute q = 9 into eqn 1;

From 1; n+q = 21

n = 21-q

n = 21-9

n = 12

Hence she has 12 nickels and 9 quarters

What is the midpoint of (8,10) and (-8,8)
nasty-shy [4]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (0, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint coordinates are the averages of the end point coordinates.

  M = (A +B)/2

  M = ((8, 10) +(-8, 8))/2 = (8 -8, 10+8)/2 = (0, 18)/2

  M = (0, 9)

The midpoint is (0, 9).

A large container holds 5 gallons of water. It begins leaking at a constant rate. After 10 minutes, the container has 3 gallons
Anna007 [38]
5 - 10 x = 3
10 x = 5 - 3
10 x = 2
x = 10 : 5
x = 0.2
The rate is : 0.2 gallons / minute
5 - t * 0.2 = 0
t * 0.2 = 5
t = 5 : 0.2
t = 25 min
Answer: After 25 minutes the container will be empty.

One canned juice drink is 15% orange juice another is 10% orange juice how many liters of each should be mixed together in order
vfiekz [6]
\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&quantity(L)&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
quantity
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{15\% juice}&x&0.15&0.15x\\
\textit{10\% juice}&y&0.10&0.10y\\
-----&-----&-----&-----\\
mixture&5&0.14&(5)(0.14)
\end{array}

whatever the amounts of "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 5Liters
thus x + y = 5

and whatever the concentrated quantity is in each, they must add up to (5)(0.14)

notice, that we use the decimal notation for the amount of juice concentration, that is, 15% is just 15/100 or 0.15, and 14% is just 14/100 or 0.14 and so on, recall that "whatever% of something" is just (whatever/100)*something

thus    \bf \begin{cases}
x+y=5\implies \boxed{y}=5-x\\\\
0.15x+0.10y=(5)(0.14)\\
----------\\
0.15x+0.10\left(\boxed{5-x}  \right)=(5)(0.14)
\end{cases}

solve for "x", to see how much of the 15% juice will be needed

what about "y"?  well, y = 5 - x

Metallic silver has a density of 10.50. what is the mass, in g, of a silver ingot that is 28.0 cm long, 4.90 cm wide, and 3.60 c
frozen [14]

Answer:

5190 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the volume:

28.0 cm × 4.90 cm × 3.60 cm = 493.92 cm³

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = M / V

Solving for mass:

M = D V

Substituting values:

M = (10.50 g/cm³) (493.92 cm³)

M = 5186.16 g

Rounding to three significant figures, the mass is 5190 g.

I<br> 8. Classify 8 as a perfect square, a perfect cube, both, or neither.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

It's a perfect cube, but not a perfect square.

Step-by-step explanation:

2^3 = 8, meaning 8 is a perfect cube. But since 2^2 = 4 and 3^2 = 9, and 8 is in between, 8 is not a perfect square.

I hope this helped.
