Answer: 5 nickels and 19 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent the number of nickels and let represent the number of quarters.

From the problem we can write these two equations:

+ = 24; (0.05) + (0.25) = 5.00

Isolate in the first equation: = 24 − .

Substitute 24 − for and solve for :

(24 − )(0.05) + (0.25) = 5.00

24(0.05) − (0.05) + (0.25) = 5.00

1.20 − 0.05 + 0.25 = 5.00

1.20 + 0.20 = 5.00

0.20 = 3.80

= 19

Use = 19 to find :

+ = 24; + 19 = 24; = 5

Answer: 5 nickels, 19 quarters

Hope this helps!

Find the length of GF
Cerrena [4.2K]
By the Pythagorean Theorem:

The square of the hypotenuse (longest side) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the side lengths squared, or mathematically:

h^2=x^2+y^2, where x and y are the side lengths and h is the length of the hypotenuse, in this case:

9.4^2=6.8^2+GF^2

GF^2=9.4^2-6.8^2

GF^2=42.12

GF=√42.12 units

GF≈6.49 units (to nearest hundredth of a unit)
