If Myesha found 6 nickels and 12 quarters under her cushion, this means that she has a total of 18 coins.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.
Let x represent the number of nickels and y represent the number of quarters. There are 2 cups in 1 pint. Hence:
If she has 6 nickels and 12 quarters:
Number of coins = 12 + 6 = 18
If she has x nickels and y quarters:
Number of coins = x + y
If Myesha has 6 nickels and 12 quarters, this means that she has 18 coins.

Any time you have a fraction within an equation, multiply the entire equation by the denominator to clear the fraction. Since the lead term is negative, we can multiply that away as well
(-14) (0=-1/14x²+4x+5) [now distribute]
0=x²-56x+70 [try to factor into binomials first]
Since 70 only has prime factors of 2·5·7, there is no combination which equals (-56). Use the quadratic formula, or complete the square. I'll use quadratic:
x=<u>-b+/-√(b²-4ac)</u>
2a
a=1, b=(-56), c=70
x= <u>-(-56)+/- √((-56)²-4(1)(70)</u>
2(1)
x= <u>56+/- √(3136-280)
</u> 2
<u />x=<u>56+/-√(2856)</u>
2
x=<u>56+/-√(2³·3·119)</u>
2
x=<u>56+/-2√(714)</u>
2
x=28+√714; x=28-√714
32/3.2 = 3.2c/3.2
c = 32/3.2
c = 10
Answer:
Lemmy ; 2 7/8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Distance walked by Lemmy:
Saturday = 3 1/2 miles
Sunday = 4 3/4 miles
Total distance walked by Lemmy:
3 1/2 + 4 3/4
7/2 + 19/4
(14 + 19) / 4
33 / 4
= 8 1/4
Miles walked by Ronnie : 5 3/8
Lemmy walked farther because : 8 1/4 > 5 3/8
Number of distance walked farther than Ronnie :
8 1/4 - 5 3/8
33/4 - 43/8
(66 - 43) / 8
= 23/ 8
= 2 7/8 miles
Factor the numerator and factor the denominator.
Then you divide the numerator and the denominator by the common factor to reduce the fraction.
