Answer:

length = 7

pls mark me the brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Lw

35 = x (x -2)

35 = x2 - 2x

x2 -2x -35 = 0

(x-7)(x+5) = 0

x-7=0

x=7 (we won't use the other factor since it would give us a negative length

so length = 7

If the fdic has an insurance fund of 67.8 billion and must use 7.6% of it to cover several failed banks, approximately how much

erastovalidia [21]

If you're using 7.6 percent, then you're not using 92.4 percent (100-7.6)

To find 92.4 percent of 67.8 billion do:
67,800,000,000*.924=62,647,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

The definition of a derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

Step 1: Define

Identify.

f(-2.4) = -1

f(-1.9) = -8

Step 2: Differentiate

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m.

[Derivative] Set up [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$
Substitute in coordinates: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx \frac{-8 - -1}{-1.9 - -2.4}$
Evaluate: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx -14$

There are nickles and quarters worth $2.20 in total. If there are 28 coins, how many nickels are there?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

There are 24 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels

Let y represent the number of quarters
—————————————————————

Value Value
Type Number of of
of of each all
Coin Coin Coin Coin
—————————————————————
Nickels | x | $0.05 | $0.05x
Quarters | y | $0.25 | $0.25y
—————————————————————
Totals 28 ——— $2.20
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The first equation comes from the “Number of coins” column.

(Number of nickels) + (Number of quarters) = (total number of coins)

Equation: x + y = 28
—————————————————————
The second equation comes from the “value of all coins” column.

(Value of all nickels) + (Value of all quarters) = (Total value of all coins)

0.05x + 0.25y = 2.20

Remove the decimals by multiplying each term by 100:

5x + 25y = 220
—————————————————————
So we have the system of equations:

{x + y = 28
{5x + 25y = 202

Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 28
y = 28 - x

Substitute (28 - x) for y in 5x + 25y = 220

5x + 25 (28 - x) = 220
5x + 700 - 25x = 220
-20x + 700 = 220
-20x = -480
x = 24

The number of nickels is 24.
————————————————————
Substitute in y = 28 - x
y = 28 - (24)
y = 4

The number of quarters is 4.
————————————————————
Checking:

24 nickels is $1.20 and 4 quarters is $1.00
That’s 28 coins.
Indeed $1.20 + $1.00 = $2.20
