Answer: A coefficient refers to a number or quantity placed with a variable

Step-by-step explanation: For example, in the expression 3x, 3 is the coefficient but in the expression x2 + 3, 1 is the coefficient of x2. In other words, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in the terms of a polynomial, a series, or any expression.

How can i find the area of this triangle?

Ivanshal [37]

To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram.

1. Thom has a scale model of his car. The

MariettaO [177]

$x =\frac{4}{3}inch$ is the size in wheels on the scale model .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Correct Question : Tom has a scale model of his car. The scale factor is 1 : 12. If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model?

We have , The scale factor is 1 : 12. We need to find If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model .Let's find out:

Ratio of size of wheels to actual size of wheels is 1:12 , but actual car has 16-inch wheels So ,

⇒ $\frac{1}{12} = \frac{x}{16}$ { x is size of wheel in scale model }

⇒ $\frac{1(16)}{12} = \frac{x}{16}(16)$

⇒ $x =\frac{16}{12}$

⇒ $x =\frac{4}{3}inch$

Therefore , $x =\frac{4}{3}inch$ is the size in wheels on the scale model .

Marty made a $220 bank deposit using $10 bills and $5 bills. She gave the teller a total of 38 bills, how many $5 bills were in

Luda [366]

ANSWER: 32 five-dollar bills

======

EXPLANATION:

Let x be number of $5 bills

Let y be number of $10 bills

Since we have total of 38 bills, we must have the sum of x and y be 38

x + y = 38 (I)

Since the total amount deposited is $220, we must have the sum of 5x and 10y be 220 (x and y are just the "number of" their respective bills, so we multiply them by their value to get the total value):

5x + 10y = 220 (II)

System of equations:

$\left\{ \begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ 5x + 10y &= 220 && \text{(II)} \end{aligned} \right.$

Divide both sides of equation (II) by 5 so our numbers become smaller

$\left\{ \begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ x + 2y &= 44 && \text{(II)} \end{aligned} \right.$

Rearrange (I) to solve for y so that we can substitute into (II)

$\begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ y &= 38 - x \end{aligned}$

Substituting this into equation (II) for the y:

$\begin{aligned} x + 2y &= 44 && \text{(II)} \\ x + 2(38 - x) &= 44\\ x + 76 - 2x &= 44 \\ -x &= -32 \\ x &= 32 \end{aligned}$

We have 32 five-dollar bills

======

If we want to finish off the question, use y = 38 - x to figure out number of $10 bills

$y = 38 - 32 = 6$

32 five-dollar bills and 6 ten-dollar bills

Parker reviews his homework before he turns it in. When he sees the equation 1.02 divided by 0.6= 0.17, he knows it is wrong. He

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The result of the division of a number by a fraction is larger than the fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,we note that value Parker divided by 0.6. =1.02

Written down result of the division = 1.02/0.6 = 0.17

However, since the numerator is 1.02, then the result of dividing it by a fraction should yield a higher number instead of 0.17

Therefore we check as follows

1.02/0.6 = 1.7

The error is apparently due to dividing 1.02 by 6 rather than 0.6

I really need this . Someone please help . Is it abc or d

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets start off by looking at point A (1,1)

4 units to the right is along the x-axis, so the x-coordinate would be 5 (1 + 4)

2 units up is on the y-axis, so the y-coordinate would be 3 (1 + 2)

A is now (5,3). we can eliminate choices A, C, and D as they each have negative numbers in them, and we are moving in the positive direction, not the negative.

the answer is B
