Answer:

10c = 20

5c = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 10c coins; let y be the number of 5c coins. The total is $2.25, so the amount of 10c and 5c coins will add to that. Simita has 25 coins, so x and y, the number of coins, will have to add to 25. Hence, solve the simultaneous equation.

10x + 5y = 225 (1) - times by 0

x + y = 25 (2) - times by 5

10x + 5y = 225 (1)

5x + 5y = 125 (2)

Then, take equation 2 away from equation 1.

5x = 100

x = 20

Substitute x back into the original equation.

x + y = 25

20 + y = 25

y = 5

Show that 0.235555......can be expressed in the form
juin [17]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose x = 0.2355555... .

Multiply x by 100 and 1000:

100x = 23.5555....

1000x = 235.5555....

Let's subtract the first equation from the second:

1000x - 100x = 235.5555.... - 23.555.....

Because the decimal part for each goes on forever, we can simply cancel them out in our subtraction statement:

900x = 235 - 23 = 212

Divide both sides by 900:

x = 212/900 = 53/225

Thus, since x = 0.235555..., we know that:

0.23555.... = 53/225

Since p = 53 and q = 225 are integers, we have proven that this repeating decimal can be written as a fraction.

Every year on November 1, the Stablo family plants a tree. This tradition has happened for generations and the first tree the fam
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Apple- 14 Maple- 154

Step-by-step explanation

Since 11 x n - n is equal to a number that ends in 10, 20 etc. and the number has to be a multiple of 11 for the maple tree, and the difference has to stay the same throughout two all we need to find is 15 x n = a number that is divisable by 10. 15 x 10 = 150 so that's the age of the trees this year, and the difference between the trees is 140 so it corresponds with our rule. and the multiple of 11 that the difference is 140 is 11 x 14 = 154 and 154 - 11 = 140. Therefore the apple tree is 14 years old and the maple tree is 154 years old.

Does anyone know away that I maybe able to understand these problems better
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x. Want to solve for f instead?

Step 1 move all terms to one side

fx - 4x² + 100 =0

Step 2 Use the Quadratic Formula

x = -f + √f² + 1600 ÷ -8,   -f-√f²+1600 ÷ -8

Done.

The edge length of a cube is 3.5 inches. Find the surface area of the cube.
Nataliya [291]
A cube has all sides the same length, check the picture below.

since the cube is just 6 squares stacked up to each other at the edges, we can simply get the area of each square and sum them up, and that's the surface area of the cube.

(3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) + (3.5 · 3.5) .
