AD = 3x + 4 and CD = x + 6, what is the value of x?

lesantik [10]

Your answer would be x = 1.

The rules for a kite shape is that two pairs are of equal length, which means we can say that AD = CD and thus form an equation:

3x + 4 = x + 6
- x
2x + 4 = 6
- 4
2x = 2
÷ 2
x = 1

I hope this helps!

I have k quarters, five less quarters than nickels and one more than twice as many dimes as quarters. Find the value of the coin

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

(35k + 20) cents

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have the value of each unit:

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

Given that number of quarter = k

Quarters are 5 lesser than Nickels, so number of nickels = k+5

One more than twice as many dimes as quarters:

k = 2 $\times$ Number of Dimes + 1

So, number of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)$

Value of quarters = $25 \times k$ cents

Value of nickels = $5 \times (k+5) = (5k+25)\ cents$

Value of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1) \times 10 = (5k-5)\ cents$

So, total value of coins =

$25k + 5k +25 +5k-5\\\Rightarrow (35k+20)\ cents$
