Answer:

x + Y = 39 or x = 39-y

20x + 50y = 1.40

20 (39 - y) + 50y = 11.40

7.80 - 20y + 50y = 11.40

30y = 11.40 - 7.80

30y = 3.60

y = 3.60/30

y = 12 50p coins were collected.

x = 39 - 12 = 27 20p coins were collected.

Proof:

20*27 + 50*12 = 11.40

5.40 + 6 = 11.40

11.40 = 11.40

I hope it helps.

Answer:

  12 50p coins were collected

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 50p coins. Then 39-x is the number of 20p coins. The total value of coins collected was ...

  20(39-x) +50(x) = 1140

  780 +30x = 1140 . . . . . . . simplify

  30x = 360 . . . . . . . . subtract 780

  x = 12 . . . . . . . . . divide by 30

12 of the 50p coins were collected.

__

39 -12 = 27 of the 20p coins were collected.

In the figure, angle D measures 45° and angle E measures 87°. What is the measurement of angle H?

Hat means y + z = 180. 

<span>y is thrice than z means y = 3 * z. </span>

<span>replace y with 3 * z in the equation of y + z = 180 to get 3 * z + z = 180. </span>

<span>combine like terms to get 4 * z = 180. </span>

<span>solve for z to get z = 180 / 4 = 45 degrees. </span>

<span>since y = 3 * z, then y = 3 * 45 = 135 degrees. </span>

y = 135
<span>z = 45 </span>

y + z = 180 becomes 135 + 45 = 180
<span>y = 3 * z = 135 = 3 *45 </span>

<span>solution is confirmed to be good.</span>

What are the roots of the graph below?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

-2,-1,1,2

Step-by-step explanation:

The term root is just another name for the x intercept so just look at where your line crosses the x axis and you will have your answer. Remember the y axis is not involved so it cannot be a co-ordinate.

Preform the operation and show work

Answer:

1 / (x² + 6x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 4) / (x² + 5x + 6) * (x + 3) / (x² - 16)

= (x + 4) / (x + 2)(x + 3) * (x + 3) / (x + 4)(x - 4)

               ↑ factor x² + 5x + 6    ↑ factor x² - 16 using difference of squares

= 1 / (x + 2) * 1 / (x - 4)    ← x + 4 and x + 3 cancel

= 1 / (x + 2) * (x + 4) ← multiply

= 1 / (x² + 6x + 8) ← expand
