Answer:

52 dimes and 28 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

n = number of nickels

d = number of dimes

n+d = 80   the number of coins he got

Multiply the number of nickels times .05 plus the number of dimes times .10 to equal the amount of money he got

.05n + .10d = 6.60

Divide this equation by .05

.05n/.05  + .10/.05 = 6.60/.05

n + 2d = 132

n+d = 80

Multiply by -1

-n-d=-80

Add this to n+2d = 132

n+2d=132

-n-d=-80

-------------------

d = 52

Now we need to solve for n

n+d = 80

n+52 = 80

Subtract 52 from each side

n+52-52= 80-52

n = 28

10.) Fishermen have been studying how the number of dead sea turtles in the local bay is related to the pollution index of the b
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the form:

f (x) = m*x + b   or  y=m*x + b

where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis.

The slope m measures the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, that is, the x axis.  According to the value of the slope m, the linear function can be increasing if m> 0, decreasing if m <0 or constant if m = 0.

You know that the number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118.   Then the value of the slope is 13.42. In this scenario, the slope indicates that the number of deaths of sea turtles grows in a proportion of 13.42 with respect to the pollution index of the bay.
