Rational Numbers:Question 2 What is the opposite of

Peggy had three times as many quarters as nickels. She had $1.60 in all. How many nickels and how many quarters did she have?. .

Andru [333]

Let

n-------> the number of nickels

q------> the number of quarters

we know that

$1\ quarter=\$0.25\\1\ nickel=\$0.05$

so

$0.05n+0.25q=1.60$ ----> equation A

$q=3n$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$0.05n+0.25[3n]=1.60$

$0.05n+0.75n=1.60$

$0.80n=1.60$

$n=2$

Find the value of q

$q=3*2=6$

therefore

The answer part a) is

the number of nickels are $2$ and the number of quarters are $6$

the answer Part b) is

The expressions that represents the number of quarters is

$q=3n$

Find x and y in the figure

Grace [21]

Answer:

x=10, y=25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in a trapezoid, the two angles on the same leg (the legs are the opposite sides that are not parallel) add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, 4y as well as (2y+3x) are supplementary. We can write this out as

4y + (2y+3x) = 180

6y+3x = 180

Next, the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, as the angles 2y, 4y, and (5x-20) make up a triangle, they add up to 180 degrees. We can write this as

4y + 2y + (5x-20) = 180

6y + 5x -20 =180

Our two equations are thus

6y + 5x - 20 = 180

6y + 3x = 180

If we subtract 6y from both sides in each equation, we can say

5x - 20 = 180-6y

3x = 180-6y

Therefore, we can write

5x-20 = 180-5y = 3x

5x-20=3x

subtract 3x from both sides to make all x variables on the same side

2x-20 = 0

add 20 to both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

2x = 20

divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x = 10

Therefore,

x = 10

6y + 3x = 180

6y + 30 = 180

subtract 30 from both sides to isolate the y and its coefficient

6y = 150

y = 25

Which of the following linear systems has a solution (5,0) SOMEONE PLS HELPPP

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

out of the choices

A) 2x-y=-2

3x+2y=-10

B) x+4y=3

2x+5y=3

C) 2x+3y=5

x-4y=-14

D) 3x+4y=15

x+y=5

only the system in D has a solution of x=5 and y=0

solve by substitution x+y=5 so x=5-y

plug into the other equation so 3(5-y)+4y=15

distribute 15-3y+4y=15 then minus 15 on both sides and combine like terms

so y=0 then put that value back into the other equation

so x+y=5 equals x+0=5 so x=5 this means the solution to the system of equations is the point (5,0)

Hope this helps! :)

Find the measure of the the sides of DEF then classify it by it sides. D(8,-6) E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Part a) The measure of the sides of triangle DEF are

$d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units$

$d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units$

$d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units$

Part b) Is a scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have the coordinates

D(8,-6) E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

step 1

Find the length side DE

D(8,-6) E(-1,-3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3+6)^{2}+(-1-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(9)^{2}}$

$d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units$

step 2

Find the length side EF

E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5+3)^{2}+(-2+1)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units$

step 3

Find the length side DF

D(8,-6) F(-2,5)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5+6)^{2}+(-2-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(11)^{2}+(-10)^{2}}$

$d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units$

step 4

Classify the triangle by the measure of its sides

we have

$d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units$

$d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units$

$d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units$

so

Is a scalene triangle, because is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths.

The amount of time it takes Renee to go grocery shopping is continuous and uniformly distributed between 18.5 minutes and 40.5 m

balandron [24]

Answer:

47.73% probability that it takes Renee at most 29 minutes to go grocery shopping

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

$P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}$

Uniformly distributed between 18.5 minutes and 40.5 minutes.

This means that $a = 18.5, b = 40.5$

What is the probability that it takes Renee at most 29 minutes to go grocery shopping

$P(X \leq 29) = \frac{29 - 18.5}{40.5 - 18.5} = 0.4773$

47.73% probability that it takes Renee at most 29 minutes to go grocery shopping
