Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
x = number of nickels in the student's pocket
y = number of dimes in the student's pocket
Each nickel has a value of $0.05, so x nickels have a value of 0.05x
Each dime has a value of $0.10, so y dimes have a value of 0.10y
The student has a total of 10 coins, thus:

The total value of the coins is $0.85, thus

The system of linear equations that represents this scenario is:

Answer:
x -2y -2=0
Step-by-step explanation:
using the formula, m= ( Y2 - Y1)/( X2-X1)
the gradient is found. the coordinates chosen are (2,0) and ( 0,-1)
the equation of the line is obtained using the formula
y -y1= m(x -x1)
Melanie needs $18 more dollars. joseph has sold 5 boxes which means he has $20 and melanie has sold 3 which means she has $12 so 30-12=18
