Answer: 19 quarters; 7 nickels

========================================

Work Shown:

q = number of quarters

n = number of nickels

q+n = 26 because we have 26 coins that are quarters or nickels. Solve for q to get q = 26-n (subtract n from both sides). This will be used in the second equation to replace every copy of 'q' with '26-n'

25*q is the total value of all the quarters, and this value is in cents. Similarly, 5n is the total value of all the nickels (value in cents). The total value of all the coins is 25q+5n which is equal to 510 (since 510 cents = $5.10)

25q+5n = 510

25(q)+5n = 510

25(26-n)+5n = 510 .... replace q with 26-n (see above)

25(26)-25(n)+5n = 510 ... distribute

650-25n+5n = 510

650-20n = 510

650-20n-650 = 510-650 ... subtract 650 from both sides

-20n = -140

-20n/(-20) = -140/(-20) ... divide both sides by -20

n = 7

There are 7 nickels

Use this to find q

q = 26-n

q = 26-7 .... replace n with 7

q = 19

and there are 19 quarters

Find the value of x so that the line passing through (10, 5) and (x, 9) has a slope of -2.
Verdich [7]
Ok, so here, we need to use the slope formula which is:

(y2 - y1)/(x2-x1)

y2 = 9
y1 = 5

x2 = x
x1 = 10

So:

(9-5)/(x-10) = -2

Now, we just solve for x,

9-5  =  -2(x-10)

4  =  -2x+20

2x  =  16

x  =  8

Lana has $15 for dinner her meal is $13.90 she wants to leave a 18% tip does she have enough explain your answer
denis-greek [22]

Start off by finding 18% of 13.90.

18%=18/100=0.18

0.18(13.9)=2.5

An 18% tip would be $2.50.


Now, to find out if Lana has enough money, add $2.50 to $13.90 to find out the total amount she would leave.  You get $16.40.  Since $16.40>$15, the answer is no because the total cost including the 18% tip is greater than $15.
