Narrowing it down it's either a or c because the other 2 choices open downward (negative a).
Graphing the 2 parabolas choice c is narrower.
c
If it goes through the origin of a graph
34-5x+2(x-2)=15 1st get rid of () by distributing the 2.
34-5x+2x-4=15 Now collect like terms.
30-3x=15 Get -3x by itself by subtracting 30 in both sides.
-3x=-15 You want X by itself so divide by -3 on both sides.
x=5
Answer:
x = 33
y = 41
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven
x: number of nickels
y: number of quarters
A nickel = $0.05
A quarter = $0.25
then we have the system of equations
0.05*x + 0.25*y = 11.90
x + y = 74
Which can be solved applying any of known methods. Then, the solution is
x = 33
y = 41
hope this was helpful.
