Given:

The change all in nickels and pennies.

Let the number of nickels = x

Let the number of pennies = y

Total coins = 31

so, x + y = 31

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 penny = 1 cent

The change = $0.87 = 87 cents

so, 5x + y = 87

so, we have the following system of equations:

\begin{gathered} x+y=31\rightarrow(1)\times-1 \\ 5x+y=87\rightarrow(2) \\ ------------- \\ (5x-x)+(y-y)=87-31 \\  \\ 4x=56 \\  \\ x=\frac{56}{4}=14 \\  \\ y=31-14=17 \end{gathered}

So, the number of nickels = x = 14

And the number of pennies = y = 17

blondinia [14]
Chris is going 10 mph. After 9 hours, Chris has gone 90 miles. Elena is going 14 mph. After 9 hours, she has gone 126 miles. 126 miles is 36 miles more then 90 miles.

10 \times 9 = 90 \\ 14 \times 9 = 126 \\ 126 - 90 = 36

Which of the following accurately lists all the discontinuities for the graph below
Mila [183]
The correct answer is option B.

From the graph we can see the following discontinuities:
a) A hole at x = -2
b) A jump at x = 0
c) A hole at x = 8

The hole refers to the point discontinuity and the jump refers to as jump discontinuity. The function is defined and is continuous at x = 3

Thus, the given graph has jump discontinuity  at x = 0 and point discontinuity at x = -2 and x = 8
