Answer:

There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of dimes

y is the number of nickels.

There are a total of 120 coins in the bag

This means that x + y = 120.

The total value of the coins is $9.25.

The dime is worth $0.10 and the nickel is worth $0.05. So

0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25

System:

x + y = 120

0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25

From the first equation:

y = 120 - x

Replacing in the second:

0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25

0.1x + 0.05(120 - x) = 9.25

0.1x + 6 - 0.05x = 9.25

0.05x = 3.25

x = \frac{3.25}{0.05}

x = 65

y = 120 - x = 120 - 65 = 55

There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.

We can determine the correct graph by finding its roots

x² - 4x - 12 = 0

x² - 6x + 2x - 12 = 0

x(x-6) +2(x-6) = 0

(x+2)(x-6) = 0

This means the roots of the function are x=-2, and x=6 and the graph will cross x axis at these two points. From the given graphs, the graph B seems to cross these points.

So the answer to this question is option B

Mrs. Adams deposited $12,000 into an account that earns an annual simple interest rate of 3.25%. She makes no other deposits or
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

<em>Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simple Interest</u>

In simple interest, the money earns interest at a fixed rate, assuming no new money is coming in or out of the account.

We can calculate the interests earned by an investment of value A in a period of time t, at an interest rate r with the formula:

I=A.r.t

Mrs. Adams deposited an amount of A=$12,000 into an account that earns an annual simple interest rate of r=3.25%. We must find the interest earned in t=8 years. The interest rate is converted to decimal as:

r=3.25/100=0.0325

The interest is then calculated:

I=12,000\cdot 0.0325\cdot 8=3,120

Mrs. Adams will earn $3,120 of interest at the end of year 8.

Answer: 4. (-1,-1) 3. (3,-2)

4)

Set the equations equal to each other.

4x+3=-x-2

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x=-x-5

Add x to both sides

5x=-5

Divide both sides by 5

x=-1

Next, replace x with -1 in either equation to find y.

-(-1)-2=y

-1=y


3)

Do the same thing for this one and set them equal to each other

-2x+4=-1/3x-1

Add 1 to both sides

-2x+5=-1/3x

Add 2x to both sides

5=5/3x

Divide both sides by 5/3

x=3

Next, replace x with 3 in either equation

-2(3)+4=y

-2=y
