Answer:

X= (-c+b)÷b

X= -b×(c-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

C=b-bx

b-bx=c

-bx= c-b

-x=(c-b)÷b

x= -(c-b)÷b

-x= b×(c-b)

x= -b×(c-b)

Mr. Hayden's Bible class collected $11

ki77a [65]

This is the only way I can think of this mathematically. This took a good 20 minutes for me. You need to guess and check. Like try 17 quarters, 50 nickels, and 37 dimes etc. until you get 11.00. My numbers are mathematically correct but we both know you cant have 18.909 quarters so. lol

Answer:

Quarters: 18.909

Nickels: 49.818

Dimes: 37.818

Somewhere around those numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

$11.00 total in coins

Nickel = $0.05

Dime = $0.10

Quarter = $0.25

(n*0.05) + (d*0.10) + (q*0.25)

Solve the equation for q.

$q=\frac{1}{2} d$

(n*0.05) + (d*0.10) +( $\frac{1}{2} d$ *0.25)

Simplify the expression.

9d + 2n = 440

d - n = -12

Multiply both sides of the equation by -9.

-9d + 9n = 108

9d + 2n = 440

Sum the equations vertically to eliminate at least one variable.

11n = 548

$n=\frac{548}{11}$

Substitute the given value of n into the equation d - n = -12

$d-\frac{548}{11} =-12$

$d=\frac{416}{11}$

Substitute the given value of n into the equation $q=\frac{1}{2} d$

$q=\frac{1}{2} *\frac{416}{11}$

$q=\frac{208}{11}$

Finally

$d=\frac{416}{11}$ d = 37.818

$n=\frac{548}{11}$ n = 49.818

$q=\frac{208}{11}$ q = 18.909

Step-by-step explanation:

The accepted values are 2 3 4 5 6 One is not counted. It says between.

The total number of ways each dice can be thrown is 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Ten is not counted. Same reason.

5/8 * 5/8 = 25/64 = 0.39

HELPPPPP NEEDED FIRST GETS BRAINLLEST !!!! Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 26 feet of fencing to go

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the width of the yard x and the length x + 3½. Since we know that perimeter = 2 * (width + length) and that the perimeter must be 26 we can write:

2 * (x + x + 3½) = 26

x + x + 3½ = 13

2x + 3½ = 13

2x = 9½

x = 4 $\frac{3}{4}$
