So, you have to have your equation in terms of dimes. What you said about what he has: four more nickels than dimes in his pocket. Will help with our equation.
We know what a nickel and dime is worth. A nickel is .05 and a dime is .1
We don't know how many dimes are in his pocket, since we're trying to solve it.
.1x+(4+x).05=1.25;
In the parenthesis, it shows how there are four more nickels. Let's solve it now.
.1x + (4+x).05=1.25
.1x + .2+ .05x = 1.25; Let's add like terms.
.15x + .2 = 1.25; Subtract .2 from both sides.
.15x= 1.05
1.05÷.15= 7 =x
There are 7 dimes in his pocket, let's check our answer.
We now know there are 11 nickels, since there are four more nickels than dimes.
11(.05) +.1(7) = 1.25
.55+ .7 = 1.25
Now that we've tried it, we know there are 7 dimes in his pocket.
Tell me if this helps!
The answer is D as it can be rewritten as -((y^2)/5)-(8/5)=x. Solving for the x-intercepts you get -((y^2)/5)-(8/5) = 0 as you want to find the y values when x is zero. Solving for y you get: (y^2)/5)+(8/5) = 0 => (y^2)/5)=-(8/5) => y^2=-8 => y = plus or minus sqrt(-8). The first problem is that you have 2 x intercepts which already makes it not a function and second sqrt(-8) is an imaginary number making the solution not a real number.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the distance driven, d-distance and C our constant.
Our information can be presented as:
#Subtracting equation 2 from 1:
Hence the fixed cost per mile driven,
is $0.20
To find the constant,
we substitute in any of the equations:
Now, substituting our values in the linear equation:
#y=cost of driving, x=distance driven
Hence the linear equation for the cost of driving is y+0.2x+284
