Answer: 135 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
135 Nickels is $6.75 and 165 dimes is $16.50
That's 300 coins. $6.75 + $16.50 = $23.25
To answer this question you will set up the proportion shown in the attached picture.
There are 2 ways to solve this.
1. You can create an equivalent ratio by determining the factor that will take you from 1 cm to 2 cm and apply his factor to the 19 miles.
The answer would be 19 x 2= 38 miles for 2 centimeters.
2. The second strategy is to use cross products to get an answer. You multiply the number diagonal from each other. See picture for this work.
3x - y = 9
4x + y = 5
---------------add
7x = 14
x = 14/7
x = 2
3x - y = 9
3(2) - y = 9
6 - y = 9
-y = 9 - 6
-y = 3
y = -3
C. (2,-3) is a solution to the system of linear equations
Substitute x=1 into the equation (1,-2)
