Answer:

12 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Thus :  

0.1

a

+

0.25

b

=

4.5

And we know that she has 3 more dimes than quarters

Thus :

a

=

b

+

3

We just replace the value of a in the equation :

0.1

⋅

(

b

+

3

)

+

0.25

b

=

4.5

0.1

b

+

0.3

+

0.25

b

=

4.5

0.1

b

+

0.25

b

=

4.5

−

0.3

( we substract 0.3 on each side )

0.35

b

=

4.2

b

=

4.2

0.35

( we divide by 0.35 on each side )

b

=

12

: Laura has

12

quarters

We can now get

a

:

0.1

a

+

0.25

b

=

4.5

0.1

a

+

0.25

⋅

12

=

4.5

0.1

a

+

3

=

4.5

0.1

a

=

4.5

−

3

( we substract 3 on each side )

0.1

a

=

1.5

a

=

1.5

0.1

( we divide by 0.1 on each side )

a

=

15

: Laura has

15

dimes

We can now verify :

15

⋅

0.1

+

12

⋅

0.25

=

1.5

+

3

=

4.5

: correct !

And

15

=

12

+

3

, so Laura has

3

more dimes than quarters

I don’t know how to solve this
V125BC [204]

Assuming that both triangles are an exact copy of one another, it is safe to assume that 3y-7 is equal to 41. Set up an equation

3y-7=41

Add 7 to both sides

3y=48

Divide both sides by 3

y=16


Now to find PN.

Based on what we know, we can assume that MP = PN. Let's make some equations!

MP = 17x-8     PN = 11x+4

17x-8 = 11x+4

Subtract 11x from both sides

6x-8 = 4

Add 8 to both sides

6x = 12

Divide by 2

x=2

Substitute 2 in for x in the equation for PN

11(2)+4

Multiply 11 by 2

22+4 = 26

PN = 26

What is an equation of a parabola with the given vertex and focus? vertex: (5, 4) ; focus: (8, 4)
artcher [175]

The parabola is opens upward.

 a = (8 – 5)

= 3

Using the standard form:

(x – h)^2 = 4a(y – k)

(x -5)^2 = 12( y – 4)

In general form

x^2 -10x +25 =12y – 48

x^2 -10x -12y + 73 =0
