Solve for c by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
Exact form: c = -4/9, 2
Decimal form: c = -.4, 2
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
Answer:
rise
Step-by-step explanation:
A = L * H
A = 65
L = 2H - 3
65 = H(2H - 3)
65 = 2H^2 - 3H
-2H^2 + 3H + 65 = 0
(-Hh + 13)(H + 5) = 0
-2H + 13 = 0
-2H = -13
H = -13/-2
H = 6.5 <== height is 6.5 inches
H + 5 = 0
H = -5....this wont work because it is negative
L = 2H - 3
L = 2(6.5) - 3
L = 13 - 3
L = 10 <== length is 10 inches
