This question is solved using a system of equations, and doing this, we get that: There are 9 quarters, 4 nickels and 12 dimes.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of nickels.

y is the number of dimes.

z is the number of quarters.

In all, they are worth $3.65.

A nickel is worth $0.05, a dime is worth $0.1 and a quarter is worth $0.25, so:

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 3.65

Dimes: 3 times greater than nickels:

This means that:

y = 3x

Quarters: One greater than double the number of nickels:

This means that:

z = 2x + 1

Value of x:

We have y and z as function of x, so we can replace into the equation and find the value of x, so:

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 3.65

0.05x + 0.1(3x) + 0.25(2x+1) = 3.65

0.05x + 0.3x + 0.5x + 0.25 = 3.65

0.85x = 3.4

x = \frac{3.4}{0.85}

x = 4

y and z:

y = 3x = 3(4) = 12

z = 2x + 1 = 2(4) + 1 = 9

There are 9 quarters, 4 nickels and 12 dimes.

A rectangle has an area of 112 square yards. Its width is nine yards less than the length. Write an equation that models this pr
Troyanec [42]

Step-by-step explanation:

L = length

W = width

L = W + 9

A = 112 = LW = (W+9)W

So,

W2 + 9W = 112

W2 + 9W - 112 = 0

Factoring

(W-7)(W+16) = 0

W = 7, -16

We discard W = -16, since a measurement cannot be negative.

W = 7

And since L = W + 9, then L = 7 + 9 = 16

This is a 16x7 rectangle
