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.

What are “like terms”? Why can we only add like terms?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Like terms are terms whose variables are the same.

We can only add them because if they does not have the same variable you do not actually know if the variables are equivalent and you will get the wrong answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ex: 4z,7z,108z,45z

Ex: 4w-2h+7a-2w

You can not add 4w and 7a because you do not know what the variables equal so you do not know the true number so add or subtract by.

write an equation of the line passing through point p that is perpendicular to the given line p(6,10),y=-3x+13
patriot [66]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = - 3x + 13 is in this form

with m = - 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-3} = \frac{1}{3}

y = \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 10) into the partial equation

10 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 10 - 2 = 8

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 8 ← equation of line
