Answer:
There are 8 dimes there.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved used a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of nickels.
y is the number of dimes.
19 coins
This means that x + y = 19.
A nickel is worth $0.05. A dime is worth $0.1. The total of these coins is $1.35. So
0.05x + 0.1y = 1.35
How many dimes are there?
We have to find y.
From the first equation: x = 19 - y.
Replacing in the second:
0.05(19 - y) + 0.1y = 1.35
0.95 - 0.05y + 0.1y = 1.35
0.05y = 0.4
y = 0.4/0.05
y = 8
There are 8 dimes there.
You can find the x and y intercepts by plugging 0 in for each of the variables
(0)=-7x-1
1=-7x
x=-1/7
your x- intercept is (-1/7,0)
y=-7(0)-1
y=-1
your y-intercept is (0,-1)
Here’s the answer to your question. option C Is correct
