1. How do you know whether an equation is linear or not?<br> Pls help!

lozanna [386]

Answer:

An equation is linear if its graph forms a straight line. This will happen when the highest power of x is 1. Graphically, if the equation gives you a straight line then it is a linear equation. Else if it gives you a circle, or parabola, or any other conic for that matter it is a quadratic or nonlinear equation.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

$108000

Explanation:

He sold it at a discount 10%

sale price = 100% - discount percentage

100% - 10% = 90%

now the price:

→ $120 000 * 90%

→ 120 000 * $\frac{90}{100}$

→ 1200 * 90

→ $108000

Theresa has $12 in nickels and quarters. If she has the same number of each kind of coin, how many nickels and quarters does she

postnew [5]

Answer: She has 40 nickels and 40 quarters .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "n" the number of nickels Theresa has and "q" the number of quarters Theresa has.

You know that she has a total of $12 in nickels and quarters. In cents, this is:

$\$12*100=1,200\ cents$

Then, based on this you can write the following expression:

$5n+25q=1,200$

Since $n=q$ , you can rewrite it as:

$5n+25n=1,200$

Solving for "n", you get:

$30n=1,200\\\\n=\frac{1,200}{30}\\\\n=40$

Therefore she has 40 nickels and 40 quarters .
