a quarter is 1.75 mm thick
1 mm = 0.0393701 inches
0.0393701/12 = 25.4 mm per inch
25.4/1.75 = 14.5 quarters per inch
14.5 x 12 = 174 quarters per foot
174 x 0.25 = 43.50
$43.50 for a foot of quarters
Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!
p.s if you want to know how to use another method to solve these problems ( Substition) , just let me know in a comentary down here
First solve for the other angles.
You know one angle is 15º.
The one across from it is also 15º since it is a vertical angle to the known 15º angle.
Both of those together gets 30º.
The whole thing is 360º, so just subtract 30 from 360 and divide.
360 - 30 = 330
Do the same for the 15x angle.
The one under/across to it is a vertical angle so is also 15xº.
Now you are left with 30xº = 330.
Just divide now.
330 / 30 = 11
x = 11
15x = 165
Checking your work:
15x = 165
15x = 165
15
15
Those are the angles.
Add those numbers together and make sure it adds up to 360º.
165 + 165 + 15 + 15 = 360
So this is correct.
Answer:
x+1 , x<-1
x²-bx-4 , -1≤x≤4
1/2 x +a
substitute x=-1 , continuous everywhere
x+1=x²-bx-4 when x=-1
-1+1=-1²-b-4
<h2>1+b-4=0 ⇒ +b-3 ⇒ b=3</h2>
then for :
x²-bx-4=1/2 x +a for x=4
4²-4b-4=1/2x+a
16-4(3)-4=4/2+a
16-12-4-2=a
<h2>a=-2</h2>
the equations will be :
x+1
x²-3x-4
1/2x-2
I hope this help
