Answer: a is 2.2, b is 0.55
Explanation:
To find the x intercept, put 0 instead of y,
hence,
0=-0.25x+0.55
-0.25x=-0.55
x=2.2
To find y intercept put 0 instead of x,
so,
y=-0.25*0+0.55
y=0+0.55
y=0.55
1/10 = .1, and 3/33 = .0909090... it is equivalent if you estimate.
No. This is because you can plug it in and see if it is true. Meaning...
3=-5-8
3=-13
3 is not equal to -13. Therefore the point does not satisfy the equation
X= number of nickels
3x= number of dimes
Each nickel is $0.05 and each dime is $0.10. Multiply each coins monetary value by the quantity of each. Add them equal to the total $9.10.
(0.05 * x) + (0.10 * 3x)= 9.10
multiply inside parentheses
0.05x + 0.3x= 9.10
add
0.35x= 9.10
divide both sides by 0.35x
x= 26 nickels
DIMES
3x= 3(26)= 78 dimes
CHECK:
(26 nickels * 0.05) + (78 dimes * 0.10)= 9.10
$1.30 + $7.80= $9.10
$9.10= $9.10
ANSWER: There are 26 nickels and 78 dimes.
Hope this helps! :)
