Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

  • Kent has a collection of pennies and nickels with a value of 1.98$.
  • The number of pennies he has is five less than twice the number of nickels.  

1. Let p be the number of pennies

and n be the number of nickles

2. Then, p=2n-5

1 pennie=$0.01

1 nickle=$0.05

0.01p+0.05n=1.98

Multiplying both sides by 100,we get

p+5n=198

3. Putting p=2n-5 in p+5n=198,we get

2n-5+5n=198

7n=198+5

7n=203

n=29

Putting value of n in p=2n-5, we get

p=2×29-5

p= 58-5

p= 53

Hence, Number of pennies=53

and number of nickle=29

A coffee shop uses two different-sized bins to store coffee beans. The volume of the smaller bin is x cubic inches and the volum
raketka [301]

Answer:

Total volume of all the bins = xS + yL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: x cubic inches represent the volume of the smaller bin and y cubic inches represents the volume of the larger bin. The store has S smaller bins and L larger bins.

To find: an expression that represents the total volume of all the bins

Solution:

The volume of the smaller bin = x cubic inches

The volume of the larger bin = y cubic inches

Also, the store has S smaller bins and L larger bins

So,

Total volume of all the bins = xS + yL

Complete the steps for solving 7 = –2x2 + 10x. Factor out of the variable terms. inside the parentheses and on the left side of
Mamont248 [21]

we have

7=-2x^{2} +10x

Factor the leading coefficient

7=-2(x^{2} -5x)

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

7-12.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})

-5.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})

Divide both sides by -2

2.75=(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})

Rewrite as perfect squares

2.75=(x-2.5)^{2}

Taking the square roots of both sides (square root property of equality)

x-2.5=(+/-)\sqrt{2.75}

Remember that

\sqrt{2.75}=\sqrt{\frac{11}{4}}= \frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}

x-2.5=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=2.5(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}

<u>the answer is</u>

The solutions are

x=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}

x=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}
