Answer:
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> number of nickels
y ----> number of dimes
Remember that
so
------> equation A
------> equation B
<em>Solve the system by substitution</em>
we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
Multiply both equations by 100 both sides
---->
--> equation C
----> equation D
substitute equation C in equation D
solve for y
Find the value of x
<em>Alternative Method</em>
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
the solution is the point (45,72)
therefore
The number of nickels is 45 and the number of dimes is 72.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical lines take the form of and horizontal lines take the form of
Why is this? Notice that whenever you make a horizontal line on a graph and select virtually any point that's on that line, all of the points you pick will have the same y value. Try to imagine the same thing with a vertical line, are the results the same?
So the line (we got -12 from the coordinate that was given to us on the question prompt) is a vertical line that passes through virtually all possible y values (from positive infinity to negative infinity, or vice-versa) which means that the question prompt having given us the y value was negligible.
Good luck!
