Answer:

3 nickels and 5 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number of nickels

q = number of quarters

q = n+2

.25q + .05n = 1.40

Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation

.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40

Distribute

.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40

Combine like terms

.30n +.5 = 1.40

Subtract .5 from each side

.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4

.3n = .9

Divide by .3

.3n/.3 = .9/.3

n = 3

q = n+2

q=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

Nickel coin = x

Quarter coin = y

y = n + 2

0.25y + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25(x + 2) + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.5 + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.05x = 1.4 - 0.5

0.30x = 0.9

x = 0.9/0.3

x = 3

y = 3 + 2 = 5

Find the value of “X”
marta [7]

Answer:

x = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle equals 180 degrees, b will be used to find the missing angle.

21 + 34 + b = 180

55 + b = 180

subtract 55 from both sides

b = 125

A straight line is 180 degrees and the b, the missing angle, and x are supplementary angles so

125 + x = 180

x = 55

Let a, b, c and x elements in the group G. In each of the following solve for x in terms of a, b, and c.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The answer is x=a^{-1}cb^{-1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to recall that the group law is not commutative in general, so we cannot assume it here. In order to solve the exercise we need to remember the axioms of group, specially the existence of the inverse element, i.e., for each element g\in G there exist another element, denoted by g^{-1} such that gg^{-1}=e, where e stands for the identity element of G.

So, given the equality axb=c we make a left multiplication by a^{-1} and we obtain:

a^{-1}axb =a^{-1}c.

But, a^{-1}axb = exb = xb. Hence, xb = a^{-1}c.

Now, in the equality xb = a^{-1}c we make a right multiplication by b^{-1}, and we obtain

xbb^{-1} = a^{-1}cb^{-1}.

Recall that bb^{-1}=e and xe=x. Therefore,

x=a^{-1}cb^{-1}.

What is the value of x in the proportion (x - 1)/5 = (4x + 2)/35?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. cross multiply to get

5(4x+2)= 35(x-1)

2. distribute

20x+10=35x-35

3. combine like terms

45=15x

4. divide :)

If the area of a square with side x is equal to the area of a triangle with base x, then find the altitude of the triangle.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

h= 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Square

Side = x

Triangle

Base = x

Altitude = h

Required

Find h, if both shapes have the same area

The area of the square is:

Area = x * x

Area = x^2

The area of the triangle is:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * Base*Height

Area = \frac{1}{2} * x*h

Equate both areas

x^2 = \frac{1}{2} * x*h

Divide both sides by x

x = \frac{1}{2} *h

Multiply both sides by 2

2*x = \frac{1}{2} *h*2

2x = h

h= 2x
