Answer:

19 dimes and 9 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Model the situation using two equations, then solve the system.

let n be number of nickels and d be number of dimes.

n + d = 28     <= This equation is about the number of coins.

0.05n + 0.10d =  2.35   <=This equation is about the worth in dollars.

Rearrange n + d = 28.

n = 28 - d

Now we can substitute this equation into the other one.

Sub n =28-d at the "d" variable for the equation 0.05n + 0.10d =  2.35

0.05n + 0.10d =  2.35

Now there is only one variable.

0.05(28 - d) + 0.10d =  2.35   <=distribute this

0.05(28 - d) + 0.10d =  2.35

1.4 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 2.35   <=combine like terms

1.4 + 0.05d = 2.35    <= begin to isolate d

0.05d = 2.35 - 1.4

0.05d = 0.95

d = 0.95/0.05

d = 19

Now that we know d=19, we can substitute it into any equation.

Choose the equation n + d = 28 because the numbers are easier.

n + d = 28

n + 19 = 28    <=isolate n

n = 28 - 19

n = 9

Since n=9 and d=19, Kay has 9 nickels and 19 dimes.

Is each line parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular to a line whose slope is -6?
babymother [125]

Answer:

Line M - neither

Line N - parallel

Line P - perpendicular

Line Q - neither

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is perpendicular to another, the slope will be the opposite, e.g. -6, opposite slope, -6.

If a line is parallel to another, the slope will be the exact same, e.g. -6, same slope, 1/6.
