The first sentence → x - 2y = -1
the second one → 3x - 2y = -3
multiply the first one by -1
you can get → -x + 2y = 1
plus two sentences together
you can get → 2x = -2
so you are able to know that x = -1
and y = 0
Answer: There are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of nickels, y = Number of quarters.
As per given,
x+y = 205 ...(i)
0.05x+0.25y = 31.85 ... (ii) [1 nickel = $0.05, 1 quarter = $ 0.25]
Multiply (ii) by 20, we get
x+5y=637 ...(iii)
Eliminate (i) from (iii)
4y = 432
⇒ y = 108 [Divide both sides by 4]
Put value of y in (i), we get

Hence, there are 97 nickels and 108 quarters.
Angle KMQ and angle RNL are on apposite sides of the transversal and between above and below (exterior to) the parallel lines, so they are alternate exterior angles. Theorem - Alternate exterior angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal have the same measure.
Answer:
20.833 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The light reflects off the mirror at the same angle that it hits it at. So the triangle formed by the beam and mirror is similar to the triangle formed by Kevin and the mirror.
Therefore, we can write and solve a proportion.
h / 10 = 6.25 / 3
h = 20.833
The beam is 20.833 feet tall.
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/6)*60 = 10
(1/6)*450 = 75
Check your work
75/10 = 7.5
450/60 = 7.5
Correct!
