We can model this situation as a system of linear equation, where n is the number of nickels and q is the number of quarters.

\left \{ {{0.05n + 0.25q=8.10} \atop {0.25n+0.05q=17.70}} \right.

Solving the system of equations,  there are 67 nickels and 19 quarters.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be n nickle and q quarters

Owen has a collection of nickels and quarters worth $8.10.

i.e. 0.05n+0.25q=8.10

Multiplying both sides by 20

n+5q=162        (1)

if the nickles were quarters and the quarters were nickels, the value would be $17.70

i.e. 0.05q+0.25n=17.70

Multiplying both sides by 20

q+5n=354       (2)

equation (1)×5-(2), we get

5n+25q-(q+5n)=810-354

24q=456

dividing both sides by 24,we get

q=19

Putting q=19 in (2),we get

19+5n=354

Subtract both sides by 19,we get

5n=335

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

n=67

Hence, Number of nickle=67

Number of quarter=19

If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions. True or False
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The statement is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions.

We need to determine the above statement is true or false.

The above statement is false, it could be inconsistent, and therefore have no solutions,

For example:

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4 +x_5+x_6+x_7=0\\x_1+x_2+x_3 =1\\x_4 +x_5 =1\\x_6+ x_7=1

Hence, there is no solution.

math help ! Will give branliest !! At a car and truck dealership, the probability that a vehicle is white is 0.25 . The probabil
defon

Answer:

As per the statement:

Let  Event A represents the probability that a vehicle is white and Event B  represents the probability that it is a pick up truck .

then;

P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.15

It is also given that:

The Probability that it is a white pick up truck is 0.06.

⇒P(A \cap B) = 0.06 where A \cap B represents that it is white pick up truck.

We have to find the the probability that the vehicle is white {given that the vehicle is a pickup truck}

We use the formula:

P(A/B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

where

A/B represents that the pick up truck vehicle is white.

Substitute the given values we get;

P(A/B) = \frac{0.06}{0.15} = 0.4

Therefore,  the probability that the vehicle is white, given that the vehicle is a pickup truck is 0.4
