Set up
Let the dimes = d
Let the pennies = p
Let the quarters = q
Equations
You cannot mean that the pennies and dimes have equal numbers. That would mean that each had 21.5 members. Now could you mean that the dime and penny amount could be the same with 43 coins that total 4.00. Four dollars means that you need 40 dimes alone. It must mean that you are including quarters.
p + d + p = 43 (1)
p = d (2)
p +10d +25q = 451 (3)
Note how this last equation = was derived. You have to multiply the dimes by 10 and he quarters by 100 and the total by 100 to get the numbers all in pennies.
Put the results of 2 into 1.
2p + q = 43 (4)
You need to modify equation 3 as well.
p + 10p + 25q = 451
11p + 25q = 451 (5)
Solve the new equations
2p + q = 43 (4)
11p + 25q = 451 (5)
Multiply 4 by 25
25(2p- + q = 43)
50p + 25q = 1075 (6) Subtract (5) from (6)
<u>11p + 25q = 451
</u>39p = 624 Divide by 39
p = 624 / 39
p = 16
Since the pennies and dimes are equal there are 16 dimes
p + d + q = 43
16 + 16 + q = 43
32 + q = 43
q = 11
Check
16 + 10*16 + 11*25 = ?
16 + 160 + 275 = ?
451 = ?
Nice problem. Thanks for posting.
Your answer is the last option, 6.
We can work this out by looking for the total of people that like tennis in the table, and subtracting it from the total amount of people that like baseball.
This gives us a total of 46 people that like baseball, subtract 40 people that like tennis, and 46 - 40 = 6.
I hope this helps!
If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of the triangular prism is calculated as
V = Al ( A is the area of the triangular end and l is its length )
A =
bh = 0.5 × 9 × 4 = 18 cm² , then
V = 18 × 12 = 216 cm³
The volume of a cube is
V = s³ ( s is the side length ) , so
s³ = x³ = 216 ( take the cube root of both sides )
x =
= 6
No because when -4 is substituted in for n the answer is 37 so it is not true
