<span>Let x = be the number of dimes and y = number of quarters. 

Since the total number of coins is 100, x + y = 100. 

Since the total is cent value is 19.75, comprised of .10 for dimes and .25 for quarters, we have .10x + .25y = 19.75. 

This is just a system of equations. Solve one of the dozen ways that work for solving systems of linear equations. 

Using substitution: 

x = 100 - y 

Plug this into the other equation 

.10 (100 - y) + .25 y = 19.75 

10 - .10 y + .25 y = 19.75 

10 + .15y = 19.75 

.15 y = 9.75 

y = 65 

So there are 65 quarters. Since x + y = 100, there must be 35 dimes.</span><span>Hope This Helps</span>

D = no. of dimes
q = no. of quarters

$total equation
.10d + .25q = 19.75

No. of coins equation
d + q = 100
d = (100-q)

Replace d
with (100-q) in the $total equation
.10(100-q) + .25q = 19.75
10 - .10q + .25q = 19.75


10.15 q = 9.75
q = 
q = 65 quarters

100 - 65 =

35 dimes.

A chameleon is looking for prey. Let positive numbers represent the elevation of prey above the chameleon and negative numbers r
alexira [117]

Answer:

B: The elevation of the chameleon

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fly is <em><u>above</u></em> the chameleon, so its elevation should be represented by a "positive number"(Example of positive number: 16)

Also,

The Grasshopper is <em><u>below </u></em>the chameleon, so its elevation should be represented by a "negative number"(Example of negative number: -23)

Explain why the graph of quadratic function could not contain both a minimum vertex and a maximum vertex at the same time.
KonstantinChe [14]
A quadratic function is a function of the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c. The vertex, (h,k) of a quadratic function is determined by the formula: h= \frac{-b}{2a} and k=f(h); where h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex. The value of a determines if the <span>parabola opens upward or downward; if</span>a is positive, the parabola<span> opens upward and the vertex is the minimum value, but if </span>a is negative <span>the graph opens downward and the vertex is the maximum value. Since the quadratic function only has one vertex, it </span><span>could not contain both a minimum vertex and a maximum vertex at the same time.</span>

30 POINTS!! Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line.
Anton [14]

Answer:

B. y = -\frac{3}{10}x + \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Well slope-intercept form is y = ax + b.

Let's start with the slope.

In this case, finding the slope is easy.

It should have a negative slope.

So we can cross out answer choices A. and C.

Also, we can cross out D. because it just makes no sense, -10/3, if you start from the y-intercept and go down 10 and across 3, yeah that's

not the slope.

So we can cross out D.

The only answer choice left is B.

We can tell the y-intercept is 1/2 because like come on so B is the correct answer.

B. y = -\frac{3}{10}x + \frac{1}{2}
