25 is the length of x, using the 30-60-90 special triangle method
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
1 dime = 10
1 quarter=25
x=number of coins - dimes
y= number of coins - quarters
x (10)+y(25)=10.25
x+y=50
x= 50-y
x(10)+y(25)=1025
(50-y)(10)+25y =1025
500-10y+25y=1025
500+15y=1025
15y= 1025 - 500
15y=525
y=525/15
y=35
x= 50-35=15
To more easily graph this, convert it to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept):
x - y = 1
-y = -x + 1
y = x - 1
The slope is 1 and the y-intercept is -1. To graph this, plot the point (0, -1) and count 1 unit down and 1 unit to the right. Do this once more, connect the points, and you have your line.
Hope this helps.
