A tangent is basically a line that 'just touches' a curve - i.e. it is in a place where it approaches the curve, and a single point on the line touches a single point on the curve. It's quite an awkward definition since 'just touches' means only one infinitely small part of the line touches the curve, but it's quite obvious when you see it.
For that reason, I have attached a little diagram I improvised just now to help explain it. The red dot is where they meet, and the straight line is tangential to the circle.

loris [4]

Answer:

5n + 10d represented the money spend by the Amy in playing board games  of cost $5 and $10 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Amy and Mary are playing a board game that uses game money if $5 and $10.

At the end of the game, Amy has n bills worth $5 each and d bills worth $10 each .

Total amount of n bills = 5n

Total amount of  d bills = 10d

Thus

Total money spend by the Amy in playing board games = Total amount of n bills + Total amount of  d bills

                                                                                             = 5n + 10d

Therefore  5n + 10d represented the money spend by the Amy in playing board games  of cost $5 and $10 .
