<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>There are 75 coins that aren't nickels. </h3><h3>One equation you could use is 75+n = 92</h3>

(This solves to n = 17 meaning there are 17 nickels)

=====================================================

Explanation:

"There are 25 ​pennies, 21 ​dimes, and 29 quarters", so there are 25+21+29 = 75 coins so far. This is the amount of coins that aren't nickels. The rest are nickels, which is some amount n. This adds to the 75 to get 75+n. Set this equal to 92 because there are 92 coins in all. That's how we end up with 75+n = 92.

-----

Extra info

The equation 75+n = 92 is the same as n+75 = 92. Subtract 75 from both sides to isolate n. You should get n = 17 after doing so.

Find the equation (in terms of x ) of the line through the points (-2,5) and (3,4)<br> y=
Alja [10]

Answer:

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points;

(-2,5) and (3,4)

Find:

Equation of slope

Computation:

y = mx + b

5 = m(-2) + b

5 = -2m + b .......... Eq1

4 = m(3) + b

4 = 3m + b .......... Eq2

Eq2 - Eq1

-1 = 5m

m = -1/5

5 = -2m + b

5 = -2(-1/5) + b

5 = 2/5 + b

b = 23/5

y = mx + b

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5
