Answer:
m = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula to find the slope m
.
The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
300 dollars would be the independent variable and 50 dollars a week is dependent
Question that needs to be solved:You use 4 gallons of water on 30 plants in your garden. At that rate, how much water will it take to water 45 plants?=> 4 gallons is to 30 plants.=> 4 gallons / 30 plants = 0.13 gallons per plants.Now, it needs to water around 45 plants, let us solve how much will it need => 0.13 gallons * 45 plants = 6 gallons<span>Thus, to water 45 plants you need to have 6 gallons of water</span>
