The correct equation of the line is Y=-2x-1 :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "s" the length in meters of the short piece and "l" the lenght in meters of the long piece.
Set up a system of equations:

Apply the Substitution Method to solve the system. Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for "l":

Susbstitute the value of "l" into the second equation in order to find the value of "s". This is:

Let
n-------> the number of nickels
q------> the number of quarters
we know that

so
----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
![0.05n+0.25[3n]=1.60](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.05n%2B0.25%5B3n%5D%3D1.60)



Find the value of q

therefore
<u>The answer part a) is</u>
the number of nickels are
and the number of quarters are 
<u>the answer Part b) is</u>
The expressions that represents the number of quarters is
