X =/= 4, -4

Explanation: if you replace the values of “x” with either “4” or “-4”, then one or more of the denominators will equal 0. Since you can not divide by zero, “X =/= 4, -4” is the correct solution.

Answer:

y + 5 = (3/2)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y - k = m(x - h). We get h and k from the given point: h = 4 and k = -5, and m from the given slope: 3/2. Then we have:

y + 5 = (3/2)(x - 4)

A collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes, and quarters has a total value of $3.35. If the dimes were nickels, the

Kay [80]

Answer: The required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a collection of 20 coins made up of only nickels, dimes and quarters has a total value of $3.35.

If the dimes were nickels, the nickels were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the collection of coins would have a total value of $2.75.

We are to find the number of quarters in the collection.

Let x, y and z represents the number of nickels, dimes and quarters respectively in the collection.

We will be using the following values of nickels, dimes and quarters in form of dollar :

1 nickel = $ 0.05, 1 dime = $ 0.10 and 1 quarter = $0.25.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x+y+z=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=20-y-z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\0.05x+0.10y+0.25z=3.35\\\\\Rightarrow 5x+10y+25z=335\\\\\Rightarrow x+2y+5z=67~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)\\\\0.05y+0.25x+0.10z=2.75\\\\\Rightarrow 5y+25x+10z=275\\\\\Rightarrow y+2z+5x=55~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equations (ii) and (iii), we have

$(20-y-z)+2y+5z=67\\\\\Rightarrow y+4z=47\\\\\Rightarrow y=47-4z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iv)$

and

$y+2z+5(20-y-z)=55\\\\\Rightarrow -4y-3z=-45\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(v)$

Comparing the values of y from equations (iv) and (v), we get

$47-4z=\dfrac{45-3z}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow 188-16z=45-3z\\\\\Rightarrow 16z-3z=188-45\\\\\Rightarrow 13z=143\\\\\Rightarrow z=\dfrac{143}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow z=11.$

Thus, the required number of quarters in the collection is 11.

Graph the system of inequalities presented here on your own paper, then use your graph to answer the following questions:y >

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Part A: The graph of given inequality is shown below.

Part B: The point (4,6) is not a solution of given system of inequalities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The given inequalities are

$y>2x+3$

$y$

The related equation of given inequalities are

$y=2x+3$

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x-4$

Put x=0, to find the y-intercepts.

$y=2(0)+3=3$

$y=-\frac{3}{2}(0)-4=-4$

Put y=0, to find the x-intercepts.

$0=2x+3\Rightarrow x=-\frac{3}{2}$

$0=-\frac{3}{2}x-4\Rightarrow x=-\frac{8}{3}$

The x and y-intercepts of first line are (0,3) and (-1.5,0) respectively. The x and y-intercepts of second line are (0,-4) and (-2.667,0) respectively.

Check the given inequality by (0,0).

$0>2(0)+3$
