Hi there!

\large\boxed{x = 2.5}

y = x² - 5x - 6

Rewrite into factored form by finding two numbers that sum up to -5 and multiply into -6. We can use the numbers -6 and 1:

y = (x - 6)(x + 1) is the equation in factored form.

There are zeroes at:

0 = x - 6

x = 6

0 = x + 1

x = -1

Find the x-value exactly half-way between the two zeroes to find the axis of symmetry:

(-1 + 6) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5

Therefore, the equation for the line of symmetry is:

x = 2.5

First, you want to solve for the equation for this problem, would be: 
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50 
While N = The amount of nickels, and D = The amount of dimes. 

Since N = 164, and D = 123. It would add up to 287 coins. 164 + 123 = 287. 
Now that you have the number for those two variables, solve the equation for when N = 164, and D = 123. 
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50 
<span>0.05(164) + 0.10(123) = 20.50 
</span><span>8.2 + 12.3 = 20.50 
</span>20.50 = 20.50 
So, there is 164 nickels, and 123 dimes for your answer. 

<em>I hope this helps! </em>

A. Isn't the answer because 9 can't go into 60

B. This is your answer 45 inches

C. and D. can't be the answer because 15 can't go into 50 or 36

15 * 3 = 45

9 * 5 = 45

I hope this helps you out, I had taken me a while to figure out what it was asking. ^-^
