<span>N + D = 55 coins (1) (N stands for nickels, 5N + 10D = 390 cents (2) D stands for dimes) Simplify (2) by canceling the factor 5 in both sides: N + 2D = 78 (3) Subtract eq(1) from eq(3). You will get D = 78 - 55 = 23. Answer. 23 dimes and 55-23 = 32 nickels. Check. 23*10 + 32*5 = 390 cents</span>

Kenya plans to make a down payment plus monthly payments in order to buy a motorcycle. At one dealer she would pay $2,350 down a
vovangra [49]

Answer:

After 16 months, Kenya will have paid $5,550

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a guess and check type of a problem.  You guess a number of months, plug it into x, and see if both equations come out with the same answer.

 If you plug 16 into the first dealer's equation, you get y= 200(16) + 2350.  Solving this equation will mean y equals 5550.

If you plug 16 into the second dealer's equation, you get y= 175(16) + 2750.

Solving this equation will mean y also equals 5550.

What is the slope-intercept equation of the line below?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Slope is known as rise over run. Because the line is pointing "\", it is negative.

The rise, the distance from one point to another, specifically from (0,4) to (1,1) is 3, as 4-1=3. your run is 1-0=1.

So your rise over run is -3/1 or, -3.

Your y-int is where when x=0, y=?

In this case y=4 when x=0.

Your equation is

y=-3x+4
