Answer:

Brandon has <u>18 Dimes and 33 Quarters</u>  [Beware:  The problem does not state that Brandon owns the coins - he just has them.  Check your pockets]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D and Q stand for the numbers of Dimes(D) and Quarters(Q).  <u>I'll use pennies instead of dollars, so avoid the clutter of decimal points</u>.

We are told that:

Q = 2D - 3  [The number of quarters is 3 less than twice the number of dimes.]

and

25Q + 10D = 1005   [total value of $10.05]

Substitute the value of Q in the first equation in the second, so that we have an equation with just one unknown, D.

25(2D-3) + 10D = 1005

50D - 75 + 10D = 1005

60D = 1080

<u>D = 18</u>

<u></u>

Q = 2D - 3

Q = 2(18) - 3

<u>Q = 33</u>

=============================

Check

25Q + 10D = 1005

25(33) + 10(18) = 1005  ?

825 + 180 = 1005  <u>YES</u>

----

Q = 2D - 3 ?

33 = 2(18) - 3    <u>YES</u>

Which type(s) of equation can have infinite solutions?
Anestetic [448]

<u>Equations with Infinite Solutions :</u>

The systems of solving equations are methods to solve two or more linear equations in two or more variables. We generally solve systems of equations in two or three variable. To solve systems of equation in two or three variables, we need to determine first whether the equation is consistent, inconsistent, independent, or dependent. A pair of linear equations, which has a unique or infinite solutions are said to be a consistent pair of linear equations.

Please help will give brainiest!!!
Butoxors [25]
Answer:
b. \frac{ \pi }{4}  or  \frac{5 \pi }{4}

Explanation:
Before we begin, remember that:
tan α = \frac{sin  \alpha }{cos  \alpha } 

Now for the given, we have:
cos θ - tan θ * cos θ = 0
cos θ - \frac{sin theta }{cos theta } * cos θ = 0
cos θ - sin θ = 0
cos θ = sin θ
Now, divide both sides by cos θ, we get:
1 = tan θ

Following the ASTC rule, we know that the tan function is positive in the first and third quadrants.
This means that:
either θ = \frac{ \pi }{4}

or θ = π + \frac{ \pi }{4} = \frac{ 5 \pi }{4}

Hope this helps :)
