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 <span>x+y=35</span>Remember the total number of coins is 35.
The other equation is <span>25x+.1y=6.5</span>Because 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:<span>y=35−x</span>We can substitute this into the other equation to obtain<span>.25x+.1(35−x)=6.5</span>This simplifies to<span>.15x+3.5=6.5</span><span>.15x=3</span><span>x=<span>20
I hope this can help you indeed</span></span>

Someone answer this please
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

b = 33m is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 44m

b = ?

c = 55m

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

44² + b² = 55²

1936 + b² = 3025

b² = 3025 - 1936

b² = 1089

b = 33m

∴ b = 33m is the length of the missing leg.

A train leaves a point A at 5 pm and reach another point B at 11 pm. Another train leaves point B at 7 pm and reach point A at 1
Alexus [3.1K]
Answer: I think the two trains meet at 9pm

Explanation: A=train a B=train b

If A is traveling for 6 hours and B is traveling for 3 hours, then you minus 3 hours from A, so you are left with 3 hours. Convert that into time, and you are left with 9pm!

Hope this helps! :)
