You find the greatest common factor of both numbers. For example 12/18 would be 2/3 because 6 goes into 12 and 18. After finding the GCF you just divide both numbers by it to get the simplified form

Janice has three times as many dimes as nickels. If the total value of the money is $9.10, how many of each types of coin does s

ICE Princess25 [194]

X= number of nickels
3x= number of dimes

Each nickel is $0.05 and each dime is $0.10. Multiply each coins monetary value by the quantity of each. Add them equal to the total $9.10.

(0.05 * x) + (0.10 * 3x)= 9.10
multiply inside parentheses

0.05x + 0.3x= 9.10
add

0.35x= 9.10
divide both sides by 0.35x

x= 26 nickels

DIMES
3x= 3(26)= 78 dimes

CHECK:
(26 nickels * 0.05) + (78 dimes * 0.10)= 9.10
$1.30 + $7.80= $9.10
$9.10= $9.10

ANSWER: There are 26 nickels and 78 dimes.

Hope this helps! :)

Which equation represents the graphed function

Tema [17]

You can either use the usual formula for the equation of a line when given two points $(x_1,y_1),\ (x_2,y_2)$

$\dfrac{x-x_1}{x_2-x_1} = \dfrac{y-y_1}{y_2-y_1}$

Or we can make some more precise reasoning, specific to this case: the y intercept is 3. When a line is written as $y=mx+q$ , the coefficient q is the y intercept. So, the second and third options are surely wrong.
