ANSWER:

Zach has 28 dimes and 7 quarters.

SOLUTION:

Given, Zach has 4 times as many dimes as quarters

And they have a combined value of 455 cents,

We need to find how many of each coins does he have?

Let, the number of dimes be x and number of quarters be y.

Then, x = 4y → (1)

Total combined value = 455 cents

x(value of one dime) + y(value of one quarter) = 455 cents

x(10 cents) + x(25 cents) = 455 cents

10x + 25y = 455 → (2)

Now, substitute (1) in (2)

10(4y) + 25y = 455

40x + 25y = 455

65y = 455

y = 7

substitute y value in (1)

x = 4(7) = 28

Hence, zach has 28 dimes and 7 quarters.

1 Simplify n+5+-m-3n+8n+5+−m−3n+8 to n+5-m-3n+8n+5−m−3n+8.

11-2m-(n+5-m-3n+8)11−2m−(n+5−m−3n+8)

2 Collect like terms.

11-2m-((n-3n)+(5+8)-m)11−2m−((n−3n)+(5+8)−m)

3 Simplify (n-3n)+(5+8)-m(n−3n)+(5+8)−m to -2n+13-m−2n+13−m.

11-2m-(-2n+13-m)11−2m−(−2n+13−m)

4 Remove parentheses.

11-2m+2n-13+m11−2m+2n−13+m

5 Collect like terms.

(11-13)+(-2m+m)+2n(11−13)+(−2m+m)+2n

6 Simplify.

Step-by-step explanation:

1882 - 9937

the easiest way to do it is to turn it around :

9937 - 1882

= 8055

then you add a subtraction sign at the back

= - 8055

Hello!

This question is about which values you are changing when you are transforming an equation.

Let's go through the parent function for an absolute value equation and its various transformations.

$y=a|b(x-c)|+d$

Since we are only looking at horizontal and vertical transformations, we only need to worry about the c and d values.

The c value of a function determines a function's horizontal position, and the d value of a function determines a function's vertical position.

One thing to note here is that the c value is being subtracted from the x value, meaning that if the function is being transformed to the right, you would actually be subtracting that value, while the d value behaves like a normal value, if it is being added, the function is transformed up, and vice versa.

Now that we know this, let's write each expression.

a) $y=|x+2|+1$
