The number of dimes present in the box is 22 and the number of nickel present is 54.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Number of coins = 76

Amount in the box = $4.9

Amount of nickel and dimes present = ?

Let d represent the number of dimes

     n represent the number of nickels

d + n = 76                                                - 1

0.1d + 0.05n = 4.9                                   - 2

Multiply equation 1 with 0.1. It becomes

0.1d + 0.1n = 7.6                                         - 3

Solving equation 2 and 3

0.1d + 0.1n = 7.6

0.1d + 0.05n = 4.9

_______________________

0.05n = 2.7

n = 54

d + n = 76

d + 54 = 76

d = 22

Therefore, number of dimes present in the box is 22 and the number of nickel present is 54.

The number of dimes is 75 coins.

The number of nickels is 1 coin.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

A box contains 76 coins, only dimes and nickels.

  • The 10 cent coin is called a dime.
  • Let, the number of dimes be x.
  • The 5 cent coin is called a nickel.
  • Let, the number of nickels be y.

<u>This is represented by the system of equations :</u>

x + y = 76  -------(1)

10x + 5y = 4.90  ------(2)

Multiply eq (1) by 5 and subtract eq (2) from eq (1),

 5x + 5y = 380

-<u>(10x + 5y = 4.90)</u>

 <u>-5x       = 375.1</u>

x = 375/5

x = 75 coins.

The number of dimes is 75 coins.

Substitute x=75 in eq (1),

y = 76 - 75

y = 1 coin.

The number of nickels is 1 coin.

1. Try It #1
padilas [110]

Answer:

The slope of the line representing the linear function f(x) is determined as $-\frac{1}{2}$. The function f(x) is decreasing because the slope is less than zero, i.e., m<0.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function f(x) is given with two points, (2,3) and (0,4) lying on the line representing f(x).

It is asked to determine the slope of the line and state if the function is increasing or decreasing. of the value of the slope obtained.

Step 1 of 1

Determine the slope of the line.

The points as given in the question are (2,3) and (0,4). Now, the formula for the slope is given as

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

So, substitute $4 \& 3$ for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and $0 \& 2$ for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows,$m=\frac{4-3}{0-2}$\\ $m=\frac{1}{-2}$\\ $m=-\frac{1}{2}$

The slope of the line is obtained as $-\frac{1}{2}$. Now, as $-\frac{1}{2} < 0$, so the function f(x) is decreasing.
