Answer:

An inequality is a mathematical expression that contains inequality signs. For example, y≤ 12x is an inequality. Inequalities are used to tell us that an expression is either larger or smaller than another expression. Equations and inequalities can contain both variables and constants.

The roots of a quadratic equation are (1,0) and (-5,0). What is the axis of symmetry?

leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry lies exactly halfway between the given x = 1 and x = -5.

The axis of symmetry is x = -2.

The 'halfway' value is also the 'average' of 1 and -5: -4/2, or -2.

The axis of symmetry is x = -2.

Lizzie has 30 coins that total $4.80. All of her coins are dimes, D, and quarters, Q. Algebraically determine how many of each t

Gnom [1K]

Lizzie has 18 dimes and 12 quarters

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "d" be the number of dimes

Let "q" be the number of quarters

We know that,

value of 1 dime = $ 0.10

value of 1 quarter = $ 0.25

Given that LIzzie has 30 coins

number of dimes + number of quarters = 30

d + q = 30 ---- eqn 1

Also given that the coins total $ 4.80

number of dimes x value of 1 dime + number of quarters x value of 1 quarter = 4.80

$d \times 0.10 + q \times 0.25 = 4.80$

0.1d + 0.25q = 4.8 ------ eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

d = 30 - q ---- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

0.1(30 - q) + 0.25q = 4.8

3 - 0.1q + 0.25q = 4.8

0.15q = 1.8

From eqn 3,

d = 30 - 12

Thus she has 18 dimes and 12 quarters

Help me with my math for brainiest:)

MissTica

Answers:
1. P=3

Step by step:
P-5=-2 -move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

P=-2+5 - calculate the sum

P=3

2. W=-2.8

Step by step:
W+13.2=10.4 - move the constant tot he right hand side and change its sign

W=10.4-13.3 - calculate the difference

W=-2.8

3. X=2/3

Step by step:
X-5/6=-1/6 - move the constant to the rig hand side and change its sign

X=-1/6+5/6 - calculate the sum

X=2/3
