Which system of equations could be used to determine how many of each coin you have

Choice A

0.10d + 0.05n = 2.25

d = 2n

Explanation:

n = number of nickels

d = number of dimes

we have twice as many dimes as nickels, so we could have something like 18 dimes and 9 nickels. Algebraically we would write d = 18 and n = 9. The equation that fits this is d = 2n. The answer is between A and B at this point.

We rule out choice B since the 0.05d is incorrect. It should be 0.10d to represent the total value of all the dimes.

Choice A is correct

d = number of dimes

0.10d = value of all the dimes in dollars

n = number of nickels

0.05n = value of all the nickels in dollars

0.10d + 0.05n = total value from both coins combined

2.25 =  total value from both coins combined

0.10d + 0.05n = 2.25

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
