To divide exponents (or powers) with the same base, subtract the exponents. Division is the opposite of multiplication, so it makes sense that because you add exponents when multiplying numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents when dividing numbers with the same base.

When you divide numbers, you make the value smaller.  So subtract the exponents will make the value with that base smaller.

Madelyn has x nickels and y dimes, having a maximum of 15 coins worth no
aliina [53]

Answer:

 2 nickels, 9 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

When there are a number of overlapping shaded areas on the graph, I find it convenient to use the reverse of the inequalities. That makes the <em>unshaded</em> area the solution space. Here, the vertices of the triangular solution space are ...

  (2, 9), (2, 13), (6, 9)

Any of the grid points within (or on) this triangle is a possible solution. One of them is (2, 9) corresponding to 2 nickels and 9 dimes.

__

Three solutions are shown:

  (x, y) = (2, 9), (3, 10), (4, 11)
