There are 62 dimes and 44 nickels.
N + D = 106 (There are 106 coins in all.)
1 nickel = 5 cents.
1 dime = 10 cents.
5*N + 10*D = 840 ($8.40 = 840 cents)
N + D = 106 -------(1)
N = (106 - D)
5*N + 10*D = 840 ---------(2)
5*(106-D) + 10*D = 840
530 - 5*D + 10*D = 840
5*D = 840 - 530
5*D = 310
D = 310/5 = 62
Eq(1) N + D = 106
N + 62 = 106
N = 106 - 62
N = 44
Do 5 divided by 8 to get 0.625 feet of shadow per foot of the height of the tree, which is your answer
This is the graph of the equation
Answer:
x = 6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x/2+5=8
Subtract 5 from each side
7x/2+5-5=8-5
7x/2 = 3
Multiply each side by 2/7
2/7 * 7/2x = 3*2/7
x = 6/7
