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

Mrac [35]

Answer:

23/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that it is 3/4 of the distance in the x <u>and</u> y coordinates, so it is 3/4 of the way from 2 to 7, and since this is a difference of 7-2=5, then it is 2 + (5 * 3/4) or 2 + 15/4 or 23/4.

The measures of two angles of a triangle are 49° and 75°. Find the measure of the third angle in degrees.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: 56 degrees

Step by step:
The three angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
49 + 75 + the third angle = 180
Let’s simplify.
180 - 49 - 75 = the third angle
So, by subtracting, we know that the third angle is 56 degrees!

$gpm = 29.7 \times {d}^{2} \times \sqrt{np}$
this formula is used to determine gpm (gallons per minute) of flow with a known hose diameter (d) and nozzle pressure (np). The constant (29.7) is consistent when figuring flow with in gallons with a know pressure expressed in psi (pounds per square inch).

Scenario example: a firefighter is using a handline to fight fire with an 1 3/4 inch line with a nozzle pressure of 100 psi. How much water is the firefighter flowing when fighting fire?

$gpm = 29.7 \times {1.75}^{2} \times \sqrt{100}$
