Answer: He has 6 dimes and 2 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

If D is the number of dimes and N the number of nickels, we have that:

He has 8 coins:

D + N = 8

He has $0.70 in total:

D*0.10 + N*0.05 = 0.70

Then we have two equations, now we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations and then replace it in the other, let's isolate D in the first equation:

D = 8 - N

Now we can replace it in the other equation:

(8 - N)*0.10 + N*0.05 =  0.70

0.80 - N*(0.10 - 0.05) = 0.70

-N*0.05 = 0.70 - 0.80 = -0.10

N = 0.10/0.05 = 2

D = 8 - N = 8 - 2 = 6

He has 6 dimes and 2 nickels.

Answer:

The number of nickels he has is 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

A man has $0.70 consisting of dimes and nickels. He has 8 coin altogether . The number of nickel he has can be calculated below.

let

number of dimes = a

number of nickel = b

a + b = 8.........(i)

Total cost

1 dime = $0.1

1 nickel = $0.05

0.1a + 0.05b = 0.70.........(ii)

a + b = 8.........(i)

0.1a + 0.05b = 0.70.........(ii)

a = 8 - b

insert the value of a in equation(ii)

0.1(8 - b) + 0.05b = 0.70.........(ii)

0.8 - 0.1b + 0.05b = 0.70

0.80 - 0.70 = 0.1b - 0.05b

0.1 = 0.05b

divide both sides by 0.05

b = 0.1/0.05

b = 2

Insert the value of b in equation (i)

a + b = 8.........(i)

a + 2 = 8

a = 8 - 2

a = 6

The number of nickels he has is 2 .

How do you graph an inequality on the number line if they are the same number? Using "and"
Korvikt [17]

If the sign looks like > or <, it excludes the number, if there is a line under the < or >, it is inclusive, which means at least, or at most. To display inclusive draw a circle on the point and fill it in, for exclusive, draw a circle and don't fill it in.

Systems of equations with different slopes and different y-intercepts have one solution?​
Artemon [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The systems of linear equations can have:

1. No solution: When the lines have the same slope but different y-intercept. This means that the lines are parallel and never intersect, therefore, the system of equations has no solution.

2. One solution: When the lines have different slopes and intersect at one point in the plane. The point of intersection will be the solution of the system

3. Infinitely many solutions: When the lines have the same slope and the y-intercepts are equal. This means that the equations represents the same line and there are infinite number of solution.

Therefore, based on the explained above, the conclusion is: Systems of equations with different slopes and different y-intercepts never have more than one solution.
