Answer:

14 quarters and 28 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations where x = number of quarters and y = number of nickels

(1) equation with value of each coin

    0.25(x)+0.05(y) = 4.90

(2) total number of coins

    x + y = 42

Solve system of equations using either substitution or elimination

(elimination multiplying equation 2 by -0.5)

.25(x) + 0.05(y) = 4.90

-0.05(x) - 0.05(y) = 42 * (-0.05)

(3) Resulting equation

.20(x) = 2.8

x = 14

plug x into equation 2

14 + y = 42

y = 28

There are 14 quarters and 28 nickels in Mary's collection.

What do you think I should do to find the y value?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

OK so finding the y value is real easy this is the equstion to find it m = [y1 - y2] / [x1 - x2] If you know x, you can solve for y to find the y value for the slope of the line. I hope this helped

Which expression has the greatest value when x=3
Luden [163]

Answer:

The third expression: (2x)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 3 for x in each expression

2x^3

2(3)^3

Use PEMDAS

2 (3 × 3 × 3)

2 (9 × 3)

2 (27)

54

2x^3 + 5

(The last expression told us 2x^3 = 54 so feel free to use this information to make life easier)

54 + 5

59

(2x)^3

(2 × 3)^3

Use PEMDAS

6^3

6 × 6 × 6

36 × 6

216

(x - 1)^3

(3 - 1)^3

Use PEMDAS

2^3

2 × 2 × 2

4 × 2

8

216 is the greatest value so the third expression is the answer
