Answer:

Quarters: 10

Dimes: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Constraints

value: 0.25q + 0.10d = 3.30

count: q + d = 18

q = 18 - d

0.25(18-d) + 0.10d = 3.30

4.50-0.25d+0.10d = 3.30

4.50-0.15d = 3.30

-0.15d = -1.20

d = 8

q + d = 18

q + 8 = 18

q = 10

Check:

0.25(10) + 0.10(8) = 3.30

2.5+ 0.80 = 3.30

3.30 = 3.30

Answer:

x=3,y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+3y=45

2x+3y=27

8x-2x=6x

45-27=18

6x=18

6. 6

x=3

2x+3y=27

2(3)+3y=27

6+3y=27

3y=27-6

3y = 21

A baseball is thrown into the air from the top of a 224-foot tall building. The baseball's approximate height over time can be r

lianna [129]

H(t) = 0 for t = 7 and for t = -2.

It is reasonable for the time to be positive, 7 seconds.

(The offered answers all appear to be negative, so none are reasonable.)

Write an equation of a line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 3y=x+6 and that passes through the point (-3,4).

Monica [59]

The standard form of this equation is

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+2$

The slope of two parallel lines i the same, so the slope of the line we're looking for is also $\frac{1}{3}$

Since the line passes through $(-3,4)$ , the equation is:

$(y-4)=\frac{1}{3}(x+3)$

$\boxed{y=\frac{1}{3}x+5}$

Find the equation of the quadratic function with vertex (– 2, – 6) that goes through the point (-4, -18)

torisob [31]

Answer:

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x+2)^2 -6

-18 = a(-2)^2 - 6

-12 = 4a

a = -3

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6
