The standard form of the
equation that represents the number of quarters, q, and the number of dimes, d,
that Austin has in his piggy bank is 5q + 2d = 270. This can be change to slope
intercept form to see the clearer picture. By dividing the whole equation by 2,
so the equation become d= -2.5q + 135.
<span>This means that Austin has
initially 135 dimes in his piggy bank and he is losing 2.5 dimes per quater</span>
Sample response: To find one intercept, let d = 0 in the equation and solve for q. To find the other intercept, let q = 0 in the equation and solve for d. The intercepts mean that the bank could be filled with 54 quarters and no dimes, or 135 dimes and no quarters.
You can predict that it will be less then either of the factors. if you take half of half from anything will you ever have more than half of the original. -i know its a little confusing its the best i could come up with
