Answer:

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x and y the amounts of nickels and dimes that Carrie and Joan have, as c the total amount of money that both Carrie and Joan have. A nickel is a five cent coin and a dime is a ten cent coin.

The following equations are constructed after a careful reading on statement:

Carrie's amount of money:

0.05\cdot x = c (Eq. 1)

Joan's amount of money:

0.10\cdot y = c (Eq. 2)

Relation between amounts of coins:

x = y+40 (Eq. 3)

First we eliminate c by equalizing (Eq. 1) and (Eq. 2):

0.05\cdot x = 0.10\cdot y

Then, we reduce the resulting formula by (Eq. 3):

0.05\cdot (y+40) = 0.10\cdot y

y+40 = 2\cdot y

y = 40

And rest of variable are now determined:

x = 40+40

x = 80

c = 0.05\cdot (80)

c  = 4

Carrie and Joan have 80 nickels and 40 dimes, respectively, and each one has an amount of money of 4 US dollars.

Answer:

C) 0 <\ x OR x />7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first arrow has a closed circle which indicates greater/less than or equal to. All the values shaded are to the left of 0. So, <em>x</em> is less than or equal to 0. The second arrow also has a closed circle. Since the shaded part of the arrow is to the right of 7, <em>x</em> is greater than or equal to 7.

Question Write an equation of the line passing through the point A(0, 3) that is perpendicular to the line y = −1/2x−6
White raven [17]

Answer:

The equation would be y=2x+3 I am pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you take the slope which is 2 from the line y=-1/2x-6. To find the slope perpendicular to the line, you need to find the exact opposite of the slope: -1/2, and in this case, it would be 2.

(Ex: if it was -3/4, you would need to use a slope of 4/3 since it is the opposite)

Then you take that slope (2) and the point (0, 3) and put it into "y-y1=m(x-x1)"

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-3=2(x-0)

-distribute the 2-

y-3=2x-0

-add 3 on both sides-

so equation would be y=2x+3

Not sure if this is all correct, but I hope it helps! :)
