Answers:

24 quarters

22 nickels

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

Work Shown:

q = number of quarters

n = number of nickels

q+n = 46 coins total which solves to n = 46-q

25q = value of all the quarters in cents

5n = value of all the nickels in cents

25q+5n = value (cents) of all the coins of both types

25q+5n = 710 cents total = $7.10

-------------

Apply substitution.

25q+5n = 710

25q+5(46-q) = 710

25q+230-5q = 710

20q+230 = 710

20q = 710-230

20q = 480

q = 480/20

q = 24

They have 24 quarters

This yields 25*q = 25*24 = 600 cents = $6.00 so far.

Use that value of q to find n

n = 46-q

n = 46-24

n = 22

They also have 22 nickels.

They have an additional 5n = 5*22 = 110 cents = $1.10

In total, they have 6.00+1.10 = 7.10 dollars which confirms we have the correct coin counts. Also, q+n = 24+22 = 46.

An angle measures 15 degrees more than its complement. Find the measures of the two angles
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The first angle is 37.5° and the second would be 52.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles are complementary when their sums add up to 90°.

x+(x+15) = 90\\x+x+15=90\\x+x=75\\x=37.5

The first angle is 37.5° and the second would be 52.5°, after we plug in x.

A ladder leans against a window in a two-story building. the window is 16 feet off the ground. the base of the ladder is 12 feet
Kitty [74]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + 12^2 = c^2
256 + 144 = c^2
400 = c^2
sqrt 400 = c
20 = c <== the ladder is 20 ft long

The question is in the picture please help
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Claim 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inscribed Angle Theorem* tells you ...

... ∠RPQ = 1/2·∠ROQ

The multiplication property of equality tells you that multiplying both sides of this equation by 2 does not change the equality relationship.

... 2·∠RPQ = ∠ROQ

The symmetric property of equality says you can rearrange this to ...

... ∠ROQ = 2·∠RPQ . . . . the measure of ∠ROQ is twice the measure of ∠RPQ

_____

* You can prove the Inscribed Angle Theorem by drawing diameter POX and considering the relationship of angles XOQ and OPQ. The same consideration should be applied to angles XOR and OPR. In each case, you find the former is twice the latter, so the sum of angles XOR and XOQ will be twice the sum of angles OPR and OPQ. That is, angle ROQ is twice angle RPQ.

You can get to the required relationship by considering the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of linear angles. As a shortcut, you can use the fact that an external angle is the sum of opposite internal angles of a triangle. Of course, triangles OPQ and OPR are both isosceles.
