For this case, the first thing to do is define variables.

We have then:

  • <em>x: number of nickels </em>
  • <em>y: number of dimes </em>
  • <em>z: number of quarters </em>

We write now the system of equations:

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 4.10\\y = 2z\\x = y + 5

Then rewriting the equations we have:

0.05 (2z + 5) + 0.1 (2z) + 0.25z = 4.1\\0.05 (2z + 5) + 0.1 (2z) + 0.25z = 4.1\\0.1z + 0.25 + 0.2z + 0.25z = 4.1\\0.55z = 4.1-0.25

z = \frac {3.85} {0.55}\\z = 7

Then, substituting values we have:

y = 2 (7)\\y = 14

Finally:

x = 14 + 5\\x = 19

Answer:

19 nickels

14 dimes

7 quarters

When x increases from a to a +2, y increases by a factor of 1/4
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

y=7* (0.5)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when x increases from 'a' to 'a+2' then y must increase by a factor of 1/4=0.25.

i.e. when x=a and x'=a+2.

then y/y=0.25 where y' is the function after putting x' to the old function.

HACTEHA [7]
Answer: y=2x+14

Explanation:
Y=mx+b
Y= 2x-4
M=2

Y= 2x+b

2 = (2 x -6) + b
2=-12+b
12+2=12+b
-12
14=0+b
14=b

Y=2x+14
