A collection of dimes and quarters is worth $6.50. There are 35 coins in all. How many dimes are there?

1 answer:

8 0

Lets do this like this:
X = number of quarters and y=number of dimes.
Now, we know that the total number is 35 and that the change adds up to 6.50.
One equation we can form is x+y=35Remember the total number of coins is 35.
The other equation is 25x+.1y=6.5Because the number of dimes times their value plus the number of quarters times their value gives us a total of 6.5. Now we can solve for x or y easily in the first equation.
Solving for y like this:y=35−xWe can substitute this into the other equation to obtain.25x+.1(35−x)=6.5This simplifies to.15x+3.5=6.5.15x=3x=20
I hope this can help you indeed

(x-\underline{(-3)})^2+(y-\underline{(+4)})^2=7^2\quad 
\begin{cases}

Show that the series is convergent by the alternating series test, and find the number of terms necessary to estimate the sum of

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

6 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

2 − 2/4 + 2/9 − 2/16 + ...

∑ (-1)ⁿ⁺¹ 2 / n²

Applying alternating series test:

lim(n→∞) 2/n² = 0

2/(n+1)² < 2/n², so the series is decreasing.

Therefore, the series converges.

2/(n+1)² < 0.05

(n+1)²/2 > 20

(n+1)² > 40

n+1 > 6.32

n > 5.32

n = 6

Find an integer, x, such that 5, 10, and x represent the lengths of the sides of an acute triangle.

Gnoma [55]

For the answer to the question above, I'll explain my answer through an equation below.
5+10>x,x<15
5+x>10
x>10-5
or x>5
So the answer is either multiple choice letter C. 6 or multiple choice letter D. 11

I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!
