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 newly drilled water well produces 50,000 quarts of water per week. With no new water feeding the well, the production drops by
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

water produced = 50,000 quarts of water per week

Production drop = 5% = 0.05 per year

Number of week in year = 52 week

Find:

Total amount of water

Computation:

Sum = a / r

a = 50,000 x 52

a = 2,600,000

Sum = a / [1-r]

Sum = 2,600,000 / 5%

Sum = 2,600,000 / 0.05

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Which figures can be precisely defined by using only undefined terms? Select three options.
love history [14]

This is a pretty bad question but I think the answer they're looking for is

angle

circle

line segment

We define arcs in terms of circles and parallel lines in terms of lines (though not necessarily line segments, so this is a bit of a judgement call).

From the given scenario is this particular item, the equation that can be derived for the distance traveled after x seconds is,
                            y = d₀ + (4)x
Substituting the known values x and y in order to solve for d₀ will give us an answer of,
                           13 = d₀ + 4(3)
                                    d₀ = 1 
Thus, the answer is 1 m.
