hunter has a total of $9.60 in dimes and nickels. let n be the number of nickels and d be the number of dimes. hunter knows ther

e are 12 more dimes than nickels. when the money values are in cents, the situation is modeled by this system of equations. 10d+5n=960 d=n+12 solve the system and determine what the solution means in terms of hunter's situation.

Answer:

  (n, d) = (56, 68)

  Hunter has 56 nickels and 68 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations can be solved by using the second equation to substitute for d in the first equation.

  10(n +12) +5n = 960

  120 +15n = 960 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  15n = 840 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120

  n = 56 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15

  d = 56 +12 = 68 . . . . . . . find d

The solution is n = 56, d = 68. This means Hunter has 56 nickels and 68 dimes.

_____

The meaning of the solution comes from the definitions of the variables.

Whats equivalent to 14(8−6x+12)
iren2701 [21]
We can use the distributive property to set up an expression that is equal to this problem. 

14 times 8 is 112
14 times -6 is -84x
14 times 12 is 168
(If you don't know the distributive property ask and I can explain it)

We can combine that together to get:

112 +168 -84x
Or, condense it further:

280-84x is equivalent to 14(8-6x+12)

Find the equation of the line that passes through the following points. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

y  = 1/4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-4.-8)
  • (-8, -9)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-4,\:-8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-8,\:-9\right)

m=\frac{-9-\left(-8\right)}{-8-\left(-4\right)}

m=\frac{1}{4}

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

substituting m = 1/4 and the point (-4, -8) to find the y-intercept 'b'

y = mx+b

-8 = 1/4(-4)+b

-8 = -1 + b

b = -8+1

b = -7

so the y-intercept = b = -7

substituting m = 1/4 and b = -7 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y  = 1/4x + (-7)

y  = 1/4x - 7

Thus, the the equation in slope-intercept form will be:

y  = 1/4x - 7

PLEASE HELP!!<br><br> which graph represents the function f(x) = -|x| - 2
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The graph on the far right

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative in front of the absolute value indicates that the parent function |x| has been reflected over the x-axis and points downwards. The negative 2 being added to this portion shows that there has been a vertical shift of two units downwards as well. Therefore, the graph on the far right is the correct graph.
