Answer:

Number of nickels = 17

Number of dimes = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

x + y = 40 (1)

0.05x + 0.10y = 3.15 (2)

From (1)

x = 40 - y

Substitute x = 40 - y into (2)

0.05x + 0.10y = 3.15 (2)

0.05(40 - y) + 0.10y = 3.15

2 - 0.05y + 0.10y = 3.15

- 0.05y + 0.10y = 3.15 - 2

0.05y = 1.15

y = 1.15/0.05

y = 23

Substitute y = 23 into (1)

x + y = 40 (1)

x + 23 = 40

x = 40 - 23

x = 17

Number of nickels = 17

Number of dimes = 23

Find the lengths and determine the measure of the missing angel (x)
inysia [295]
B= 60 
To find b you must do the pythagorean theorem because it is a right triangle
65^2 - 25^2=b^2
3600=b^2
60=b

x= 18 
To find x you must know that a triangle is made up of 180 degrees.
x= 180-(72+90)
x=180-162
x=18

hope this helped :)
