D= # of dimes
q= # of quarters

QUANTITY EQUATION:
d + q= 64

COST EQUATION:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25


STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -0.10 to be able to eliminate the d term in step 2

(-0.10)(d + q)= (-0.10)(64)
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40


STEP 2:
add equation from step 1 to cost equation to eliminate the d term and solve for q

Add
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40

0.15q= 2.85
divide both sides by 0.15

q= 19 quarters


STEP 3:
substitute q value in step 2 into either original equation to find d value

d + q= 64

d + 19= 64
subtract 19 from both sides

d= 45 dimes


CHECK:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
0.10(45) + 0.25(19)= 9.25
4.50 + 4.75= 9.25
9.25= 9.25


ANSWER: There are 45 dimes and 19 quarters.

Hope this helps! :)

The line passes through the point (2,-9) and has a zero slope. Write the answer in slope-intercept form.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Okay so for finding the equation of a line, which is a function, the equation is set to y, so you can eliminate A and B. When the slope of an equation is 0, we are saying that the y value of any point of the line is going to be the same, which is 9 from the given point (2,9).

So the answer is C. y=9

Complete Question

Write a rational equation that relates the desired percentage p, to the amount A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid, where 0<p<100 . What is a reasonable restriction on the set of possible values of ? Explain your answer.

Answer:

100(0.1 + 0.3A)= (1 + A) P

Step-by-step explanation:

A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid,

Hence,

10% of 1 + 30% of A = p%(1 + A)

0.10 + 0.3A = (p/100)(1 + A)

Divide both sides by 1 + A

0.1 + 0.3A/ 1 + A = p/100

Cross Multiply

100(0.1 + 0.3A) = 1 + A(p)

From the above calculation, we can see that, the blend that would be formed is not lower than 10% or greater than 30%

10% < p< 30%
