nickels ($0.05): D + 14

dimes ($0.10): D

quarters ($0.25): Q

Quantity:  (D + 14) + D + Q = 102  ⇒   2D + 14 + Q = 102   ⇒  2D + Q = 88    

Value: 0.05(D + 14) + 0.10(D) + 0.25(Q) = 13.60  ⇒  0.05D + 0.70 + 0.10D + 0.25Q = 13.60   ⇒  0.15D + 0.70 + 0.25Q = 13.60  ⇒  0.15D + 0.25Q = 12.90  ⇒ 15D + 25Q = 1290

2D  +     Q =    88  ⇒         -15(2D + Q = 88)   ⇒ -30D - 15Q = -1320

15D + 25Q = 1290 ⇒   2(15D + 25Q = 1290)  ⇒ <u>30D + 50Q</u> = <u>2580 </u>

                                                                                        35Q = 1260

                                                                                         \frac{35Q}{35} = \frac{1260}{35}

                                                                                             Q = 36

Answer: 36 quarters

Six times the difference of a number and three is equal to three less than the number.
icang [17]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take x as the number

so

6(x-3)=x-3

since it says "6 times" we know that we will have to multiply the difference by 6  and it says the difference of a number and 3 is equal to 3 less than the number so we know that we are subtracting 3 from x

6x-18=x-3

6x-x=18-3

5x=15

x=3

The line y=7 is a horizontal line with a slope of 0.
Slope intercept form of 
y=mx+b 

would be
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=0 and point of (-1,-10)
y-(-10)=0
