Kristen has 64 coins in her bank. She has $9.25 in dimes and quarters. How many dimes and quarters does she have?

1 answer:

7 0

D= # of dimes
q= # of quarters

QUANTITY EQUATION:
d + q= 64

COST EQUATION:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -0.10 to be able to eliminate the d term in step 2

(-0.10)(d + q)= (-0.10)(64)
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40

STEP 2:
add equation from step 1 to cost equation to eliminate the d term and solve for q

Add
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40

0.15q= 2.85
divide both sides by 0.15

q= 19 quarters

STEP 3:
substitute q value in step 2 into either original equation to find d value

d + q= 64

d + 19= 64
subtract 19 from both sides

d= 45 dimes

CHECK:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
0.10(45) + 0.25(19)= 9.25
4.50 + 4.75= 9.25
9.25= 9.25

ANSWER: There are 45 dimes and 19 quarters.

Hope this helps! :)

Marcy left for school and felt like running. She ran for a while and then stopped to rest. After resting, she walked the rest of

Answer:

The last graph best represents the story

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary left for school from rest. So the initial speed is zero.

So we start from the origin and draw a straight line with a positive slope to running, that is as time increases , distance covered also increases.

When she is resting, her speed is zero so we draw a horizontal line to indicate this second phase of her journey.

After resting she still continued her journey to school.

This part also has a positive slope.

Please help with this precalc!!! i desperately need help

Paladinen [302]

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is the A or Ampltiude

To find the period set it equal to 2 pi/B

$\frac{2\pi}{b} = \frac{6}{1}$

$\frac{b}{2\pi} = \frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{2\pi}{6}$

$\frac{\pi}{3}$

There is no phase shift

The midline or d or vertical shift is 1.

Our equation for 8 is

$4 \sin( \frac{\pi}{6} x) + 1$

9.Use sin function. The a value is 2 or -2 your choice.

Set up the period equal to the equation

$\frac{2\pi}{b} = \frac{\pi}{3}$

$\frac{b}{2\pi} = \frac{3}{\pi}$

$b = \frac{3}{\pi} \times 2\pi$

Which equal 6.

B=6

There is no C and the D and Vertical Shift is 1.

Our equation is

$2 \sin(6x) + 1$

281.25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2=250

1=125

0.5=62.5

0.25=31.25

Need Help with this question

Fantom [35]

The sum of the three angles is 180. One is given and the other we can figure out because it forms a straight line (180) with the angle to the left outside. The outside angle is 117, so 180-117 is 63.
So then add up the 3 angles in the triangle
63+35+y=180
y= 82
