Using a system of equations, it is found that the meter contains 20 dimes and 10 quarters.

<h3>System of equations:</h3>

For the system, the variables are:

  • x is the number of dimes.
  • y is the number of quarters.

A dime is worth $0.1 and a quarter is worth $0.25. In total, the parking meter is filled with $4.50, hence:

0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

There are twice as many dimes as quarters, hence:

x = 2y

Then:

0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

0.1(2y) + 0.25y = 4.5

0.2y + 0.25y = 4.5

0.45y = 4.5

y = \frac{4.5}{0.45}

y = 10

x = 2y = 2(10) = 20

There are 20 dimes and 10 quarters in the parking meter.

Find the missing length
jasenka [17]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For this you will have to use pythagoras’ theorem.

The formula for the shorter side of this triangle is u²=c²-b² (or in this case u²=17²-8²).

17²=289

8²=64

The formula becomes u²=289-64 or u²=225

Then to find u on its own you have to square root 225.

The square root of 225 is 15.
