Answer:

She has 4 quarters, 13 dimes, and 10 nickels in her purse

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q be the amount of quarters, d be the amount of dimes, and n be the amount of nickels she has in her purse. We can use this to set up a system of equations:

25q+10d+5n=280

This is because a quarter is 25 cents, a dime is 10 cents, and a nickel is 5 cents. We also have to convert $2.80 to cents since all our other values are in cents.

d=q+9

She has 9 more dimes than quarters

n=q+6

She has 6 more nickels than quarters

We can solve this system using substitution (substitute q+9 for d and q+6 for n)

25q+10(q+9)+5(q+6)=280

25q+10(q)+10(9)+5(q)+5(6)=280

25q+10q+90+5q+30=280

40q+120=280

Subtract 120 from both sides

40q=160

Divide both sides by 40

q=4

Now we plug this back into the other equations to find the amount of nickels and dimes

d=q+9=4+9=13

n=q+6=4+6=10

She has 4 quarters, 13 dimes, and 10 nickels in her purse

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Central Angle Theorum, which states that if the vertex of the angle is the center of the circle, then the arc is the same measurement as the angle.

In this case, m<COB is 80 degrees, and the vertex is the center of the circle, which means that measure of arc CB is also 80 degrees

Solve the following equation for all values of x: 10x^2 - 5x = 0
kirill115 [55]
Using the quadratic formula works but if you know there are 2 answers (highest power of problem tells you how many solutions) then
10x^2 = 5x
So either x = 0, giving 0=0.  Or divide by 5x
2x = 1
x = 0.5
