<span>Kent has a collection of pennies and nickles with a value of $1.98. The number of pennies he has is five less than twice the number of nickles. How many of each coin does Kent have?
----
p + 5n = 198
p = 2n - 5
</span>---
Sub for p
2n-5 + 5n = 198
Answer: The new ratio will be 1/4
Explanation: The initial ratio of losses to wins is 3 to 2. If we sum the numer of losses and wins 3 + 2 = 5 games, that means they loss 3 out of 5 games , and they win 2 out of 5 games.
So if they had won twice as many of the games, that is 2*2=4. And since the number of games is the same ( 5 ), then they would have won 4 games and loss only 1.
So the new ratio of losses to wins will be 1 to 4, or expressed in a fraction: 1/4
<span>draw out a triangle and then create three boxes inside by drawing a T. In each of the boxes you've created you need to put one of the letters from the equation. The equation you currently have is F= m*a. To rearrange this equation put the m and the a into the bottom boxes and the F above. Because there is a vertical line between the m and the a, this means you times them. If there is a horizonal line between two letters you divide them. So to find a, you must divide F by m. </span>
Check the picture below.
is not very specific above, but sounds like it's asking for an equation for the trapezoid only, mind you, there are square tiles too.
but let's do the trapezoid area then,
![\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20a%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B%7B%20n%7D%7D%7B%7B%20m%7D%7D%7D%20%5Cimplies%20%20%5Csqrt%5B%7B%20m%7D%5D%7Ba%5E%7B%20n%7D%7D%20%5Cqquad%20%5Cqquad%0A%5Csqrt%5B%7B%20m%7D%5D%7Ba%5E%7B%20n%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20a%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B%7B%20n%7D%7D%7B%7B%20m%7D%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A-------------------------------%5C%5C%5C%5C)
check the picture below.
notice, a function that is decreasing, namely have a negative slope, doesn't have to be negative.
