Answer: there are 70 dimes and 40 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is 10 cents

A nickel is 5 cents

A quarter is 25 cents

Let x represent the number of dimes at the bottom.

Let y represent the number of quarters at the bottom.

The city park employee collected 1,850 cents in nickels, dimes, and quarters at the bottom of a wishing well. If there were 30 nickels, it means that

10x + 25y + 30 × 5 = 1850

10x + 25y = 1850 - 150

10x + 25y = 1700- - - - - - - - -1

There is a combined total of 110 dimes and quarters. It means that

x + y = 110

Substituting x = 110 - y into equation 1, it becomes

10(110 - y) + 25y = 1700

1100 - 10y + 25y = 1700

1100 + 15y = 1700

15y = 1700 - 1100

15y = 600

y = 600/15

y = 40

x = 110 - y = 110 - 40

x = 70

The function f(x) is given by the set of ordered pairs.
My name is Ann [436]
Answer: f(0) = 6.

Explanation:

Ther ordered pairs are: (x,y) or (x, f(x) )

So, (1,0) means that f(1) = 0 which denies the fourth choice.

(-10,2) means that f(-10) = 2 which denies the first choice

(0,6) means that f(0) = 6, which is the third choice. So, that is the true equation.
