Answer: There are 33 dimes and 17 quarters in my pocket.


Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: To assign and label the variables.

Suppose,  

The number of dimes= x

The number of quarters= y

Step 2: To write the system of equations.

Equation related to the total coins:

x + y = 50              equation 1

Equation related to the total value of the coins:

0.10x + 0.25y = 9.95         equation 2

Step 3: To solve the system of equations.

Multiply equation 1 by 0.10 and then subtract it from equation 2 to eliminate the variable, x.

0.10x + 0.25y – (0.10x + 0.10y)= 9.95 – 5

0.15y = 4.95

y= 33

So, x=50 - 33= 17

Step 4: Therefore, there are 33 dimes and 17 quarters in my pocket.

Graph the system of inequalities presented here on your own paper, then use your graph to answer the following questions: y <
Mandarinka [93]
Part A:
 The first thing you should do is to graph both lines. Notice that one is of positive slope and another of negative slope.
 The solution of the inequation system is given by the shaded region. That is, all the points that are in the shaded region satisfy the system of inequations.
 Part B:
 the point (-2, -2) is NOT included in the solution area (it is not in the shaded region.
 Mathematically it is demonstrated by substituting inequalities and seeing that they are not satisfied
 inequality 1
 -2 <4 (-2) - 2
 -2 <-10 (false)
 inequality two
 -2> = - (5/2) (- 2) - 2
 -2> = 3 (false).
