.1x + .25y = 5.45
x + y = 29

Multiply the second equation by -.1
 .1x + .25y = 5.45
-.1x - .1y  = -2.9  Now add the equations together, the x's will cancel.
------------------------
       .15y  = 2.55  Divide both sides by .15
         y = 17
29 - 17 = 12
12 dimes and 17 quarters

CHECK
12 * .1 + 17*.25 = $5.45

Answer:

  (a)  $1430

  (b)  $1340

  (c)  Debit card

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The debit card is funded by Jenny's checking account, so it cannot be used to spend more than her checking account balance. The most Jenny can spend using her debit card is $1430.

__

(b) Amounts purchased using her credit card add to the credit balance. The most Jenny can purchase is the difference between her current balance and her credit limit.

  Limit - balance = $2350 -1010 = $1340

The most Jenny can spend using her credit card is $1340.

__

(c) For a purchase of $1400, the amount available on Jenny's credit card is insufficient. She can make the purchase using her debit card.

If a rock falls from a height of 40 meters on Earth, the height H (in meters) after x seconds is approximately
Julli [10]
Once the rock hits the ground, we know that its height will be equal to 0m
because of this, we can replace H(x) with 0
40 - 4.9 {x}^{2}  = 0
now all we have to do is get x by itself
so..
4.9 {x}^{2}  = 40
then
{x}^{2}  = 40 \div 4.9
{x}^{2}  = 8.1632...
now take the square root of each side
x = 2.857...
