If we let Q be the number of quarters and N be number of nickels, this is the formula we would use:
[1] 25Q + 5N = 635 (using cents instead of dollars)


We also know something about Q and N.

[2] Q + N = 51


So multiply both sides of the second equation by 5. The reason we do this is because we're going to need to cancel out one of the variables (either Q or N) to solve for the other one. If we multiply times 5, we'll have 5N in both equations.
5Q + 5N = 255

Now we have two equations, and the second one can be subtracted from the first.

25Q + 5N = 635
-(5Q + 5N) = -255
---------------------
20Q = 380
so
Q = 19

There are 19 quarters.

And since there are 51 coins in all, 51-19 = 32 nickels.

Danielle’s chemistry professor has a complicated grading system. Each lab counts once and each test counts as two labs. At the e
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

Lab Scores are 84, 81, and 93

Test Scores are 89 and 94

Each lab counts once and each test counts as two labs. At the end of the semester there is a final lab that counts as three regular labs.

Total Number of Labs= (3X1)+(2X2)+(1X3) =3+4+3 =10

To recieve an A(90), the average of her scores must be 90.

Let her final lab score =b

Refer to the attached diagram

Total Score=624+3b

For her average =90

\frac{624+3b}{10}=90

Cross multiplying

624+3b =90 X 10

624+3b =900

3b =900-624

3b =276

Dividing both sides by 3

b= 92

She must score 92 in her final lab to receive an A.

HELP ASAP BEING TIMED! If Triangle J K L is congruent to Triangle B C A, which statement must be true?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is like a matching question. Here's what I mean by this. We know Triangle BCA and Triange JKL are congruent. So, what we have to do is match the side lengths together.

So the first side of BCA matches with JKL, the second side of BCA matches with JKL, the third side of BCA matches with JKL.

So first side:

BC is congruent  to JK

So second side:

CA is congruent  to KL

So third side:

JL is congruent  to BA

The third side is one of our answer choices.

That answer choice is C.
