Answer:
Work shown below!
Step-by-step explanation:
24 ≥ 58 + 5(x - 3.8)
Distribute;
24 ≥ 58 + 5x - 19
Collect like terms;
24 ≥ 39 + 5x
Subtract 39 from both sides;
-15 ≥ 5x
Divide both sides by 5;
x ≥ -3
I believe the answer is C
The answer is the product of their slope is -1.
First, let's break this down. Perpendicular lines are line with opposite reciprocal slopes. Opposite meaning the inverse sign and reciprocal meaning flipped.
For instance,
If a line had the slope of 5, its inverse would have a slope of -1/5.
Now, if we multiply these numbers together,
5 * -1/5 = -1
The 5's cancel out.
This works for any two perpendicular lines
2.5(12.75x + 24.50) = 188.75
31.875x + 61.25 = 188.75
31.875x = 188.75 - 61.25
31.875x = 127.50
x = 127.50 / 31.875
x = 4....they worked 4 hrs
I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!
