Zayden has a total of 20 bills in his wallet. Also, his wallet only contains $50 and $100 bills. If the numbers of $50 and $100
iVinArrow [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of $50 bills

y = number of $100 bills

x + y = 20

50x + 100y + 500 = 100x + 50y

50y + 500 = 50x

y + 10 = x

now we use that in the first equation :

y + 10 + y = 20

2y = 10

y = 5

x = y + 10 = 5 + 10 = 15

so, he has 15 $50 bills and 5 $100 bills = $750 + $500 = $1250 in his wallet

You can use the equation d = 16t^2 (note: t is raised to the second power or squared) to determine the time t in seconds that it
scoray [572]

Answer:

The time the object takes to fall on the ground from 224 feet is 3.74 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have a known quantity, the distance of the fall that is 224 feet and a equation that represents the motion of this fall that is d = 16t^2. We wish to find the time it'll take this object to fall, so we can solve this equation for t. It goes as follows:

d = 16t^2

d/16 = t^2

t^2 = d/16

t = \sqrt(d/16)

t = [\sqrt(d)]/4 = [\sqrt(224)]/4 = 14.97/4 = 3.74 s

where \sqrt is the square root of the number.

If f(x) = 3x^2 + 5x find f(-2)<br> -22<br> -9<br> 2<br> 22
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 2) substitute x = - 2 into f(x)

f(- 2) = 3(- 2)² + 5(- 2) = (3 × 4) - 10 = 12 - 10 = 2
