Answer:

  • 25 dimes
  • 56 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 81-d is the number of nickels and the total value in cents is ...

  10d +5(81-d) = 530

  5d +405 = 530 . . . eliminate parentheses

  d +81 = 106 . . . . . divide by 5

  d = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 81; number of dimes

  81 -d = 81 -25 = 56 . . . . . number of nickels

There are 25 dimes and 56 nickels in the box.

<em>Comment on the method of solution</em>

It usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the highest-value contributor (dimes). This keeps the numbers positive as the solution progresses.

2x + y = −3 −2y = 6 + 4x Write each equation in slope-intercept form.
Zanzabum

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

so solve for y


2x+y=-3

minus 2x both sides

y=-2x-3


-2y=6+4x

divide both sides by -2

y=-3-2x

y=-2x-3

Will give brainlisted whoever is correct first. please hurry.

Answer:

32.33 <= m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are dealing with below sea level our initial starting point and max level will both be negative values, while our descending rate will also be negative because we are going down. Using the values provided we can create the following inequality...

-400 <= -12m - 12

Now we can solve the inequality to find the max number of minutes that the submarine can descend.

-400 <= -12m - 12   ... add 12 on both sides

-388 <= -12m   ... divide both sides by -12

32.33 <= m
