<u>Equation</u>
Let's call:
p = number of pennies Janesa has in her pocket
n = number of nickels Janesa has in her pocket
She has 24 coins in total, thus:
![p + n=24\qquad\qquad [1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%20%2B%20n%3D24%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B1%5D)
Since each penny is worth $0.01 and each nickel is worth $0.05, and Janesa has $1 in total:
Multiplying by 100:
![p+5n=100\qquad\qquad [2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%2B5n%3D100%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B2%5D)
A. Completing the equation:
B.
From [1]:
Substituting into [2]:
Simplifying:
Rearranging:
B. There are 5 pennies in Janesa's pocket
C. Since each penny is worth $0.01, the total value of pennies is 5*$0.01=$0.05
The total value of the pennies is $0.05
D. The total value of the nickels is 19*$0.05 = $0.95
E. Jackson should say she has 19 nickels and 5 pennies
Answer:
12=12
Step-by-step explanation:
2a = b
a -3b =12
To solve, set one of the equations equal to zero. The first equation is actually already set to 0.
b = 2a
Now you can plug this equation into the other one, by substituting the b in the equation with this.
a -3b = 12
a – 3(2a) = 12
Now all you have to do is distribute the 3 (multiply the number outside the parenthesis, 3 in this case, by everything inside).
a – 6a = 12
Combine like terms. Since we have 1 positive a and 6 negative ones, we subtract the two numbers without the signs
6-1 = 5
And take the sign of the larger number. Since 6 is large and 6 is negative, we are left with
-5a = 12
Now solve for a, which in this case means dividing both sides by -5
a = -12/5
Simplify
a = -2.4
Now that you have a, it’s easy to find b
b = 2a
b = 2(-2.4)
b= -4.8
Now you check your work by plugging your new a and b into either equation to see if it’s true.
-4.8 = 2(-2.4)
-4.8 = -4.8
And just for laughs let’s try the other equation
a -3b =12
-2.4 – 3(-4.8) = 12
Distribute the 3 again. Remember that when two negative numbers are multiplied they become positive.
-2.4 +14.4 = 12
12 = 12
We find the answer by using the density formula: d =m/v
We know the density: 0.1785
We know the volume: 3,249
We DO NOT know the mass, so that is what we're trying to finding
0.1785 = m/3,249
Solve:
3,249 * 0.1785 = m/3,249 * 3,249
579.9465 which can be rounded to 579.9
The answer is D.
Answer:
12 feet ladder
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of 12 ft ladder :
Using Pythagoras :
Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus
Tan 57 = h / 12
1.5398649 * 12 = 18.48 feets
For 16 feet ladder :
Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus
Tan 30 = h / 16
0.5773502 * 16 = 9.24 feets
18.48 > 9.24
Hence, he'll climb the 12 feets ladder to the higher height
