Answer:

q = 108-n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 108 coins containing only quarters and nickels

q = 108-n

since total number of coins is 108, and n= number of nickels

If you want to know how many of each kind of coin, read on:

First solve the number of quarters and nickels.

If all 108 coins are quarters, the value is 108*0.25 = $27

Since this value exceed the actual by 27-21 = $6,

we replace a number of quarters by nickels.

Each replacement will reduce the value by 25 - 5 = 20 cents = 0.2 dollars.

So it will take 6/0.2 = 30 replacements.

Therefore there are 108-35 = 78 quarters and 30 nickels.

Since their investments are known to be equal, we equate the two totals and solve for X.37X/10-1000=15X/4-1100(150-148)X/40 = 1100-1000X/20=100X=2000
So Sam invested $2000 the first year.Sally invested X/4+1400=1900 in the last year.

STALIN [3.7K]

If a pack of paper costs 3.75 including tax, and there is a $20 budget, then the equation to find out the answer would be 3.75p is greater or equal to $20. So the answer would be B. 3.75 would be multiplied by the tax and then applied up to $20.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=−23x+5

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$y-1=\frac{1}{23} (x-8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point (8,1) and a slope from the equation y=-23x+5. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and slope.

Point slope: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$m\neq -23$ in our new equation because it us perpendicular to it. This means we will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=\frac{1}{23}$ .

We will substitute $m=\frac{1}{23}$ and $x_1=8\\y_1=1$ .

$y-1=\frac{1}{23} (x-8)$ .

This is the equation of the line perpendicular to y=-23x+5 that crosses through (8,1).
