So, first lets define our variables:
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels
so our first equation would be x+y = 16
Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows:
.10x+.05y = 1.35
now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:
.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35
combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5
So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels
Answer:
midpoint (5,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint(M) of a segment with endpoints (x₁ , y₁) and ( x₂, y₂) is
where x₁ = 2 and x₂ = 8
y₁ = 0 and y₂ = 8
M = 
M = 
M = 5 , 4
1 solution is available when variable equals a constant.
Answer: Option B.
<u>Explanation:</u>
You will be able to determine if an equation has one solution (which is when one variable equals one number), or if it has no solution (the two sides of the equation are not equal to each other) or infinite solutions (the two sides of the equation are identical).
The ordered pair that is the solution of both equations is the solution of the system. A system of two linear equations can have one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.
