So since x coordinates are same, we just have a horizontal distance to find (no fancy slanted lines)
so what you do is
|y1-y2|=distance
Answer: All real numbers are solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's solve your equation step-by-step.</u>
−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x
<u>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.</u>
−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x
−5x+−6+−x=−6+−6x(Distribute)
(−5x+−x)+(−6)=−6x−6(Combine Like Terms)
−6x+−6=−6x−6
−6x−6=−6x−6
<u>Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.</u>
−6x−6+6x=−6x−6+6x
−6=−6
<u>Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.</u>
−6+6=−6+6

A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
