Answer:

  14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels. Then the number of quarters is 36-n. The difference is ...

  (36-n) -n = 8 . . . . . 8 more quarters than nickels

  18 -n = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  14 = n . . . . . . . . add n-4 to both sides

There are 14 nickels in the jar.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The problem supplies more information than is needed for a solution. You can work this as a "sum and difference" problem, as we have above, or you can work it as a "mixture" problem where the total coin value comes into play. Any two of the three given relations will give a solution.

  n + q = 36 . . . . . . . number of coins

  5n +25q = 620 . . . value of coins (in cents)

  q -n = 8 . . . . . . . . difference in number of coins

The width of a rectangle is 22 inches and the perimeter is at least 165 inches. what inequality could be used to find the minimu
Lera25 [3.4K]
The answer is D.

We know that a rectangle has two widths that are equal and two lengths that are equal. One width is 22, so the other one is also 22.

If you wanted to find the lengths, you would add both widths together (same as multiplying a width by two) and add that to the two lengths equaled to the perimeter.

So, 22 * 2 + 2x = perimeter of rectangle. We added all four sides together.

We know that the perimeter is at least 165, so 22 * 2 + 2x = 165. Here's the twist. They want the most minimum possible length. So, what answer choice gives you 165 or less for the most minimum or smallest length while still getting to 165?
That is D.
22 * 2 + 2x < = 165.
Hope this helped!
