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.

A basketball player stands near the middle of the court and throws the ball toward the basket.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of parabola in vertex form y= a(x-h)^2+k

y represents the height

x represents horizontal distance

(h,k) is the coordinates of vertex of parabola

We are given that The  ball travels to a maximum height of 12 feet when it is a horizontal distance of 18 feet from the player's hands.

So,(h,k)=(18,12)

Substitute the value in equation

y=a(x-18)^2+12  ---1

The ball leaves the player's hands at a height of 6 feet above the ground and the distance at this time is 0

So, y = 6

So,6=a(0-18)^2+12

6=324a+12

-6=324a

\frac{-6}{324}=a

\frac{-1}{54}=a

Substitute the value in 1

So,y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Hence a function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Solve the system.
gtnhenbr [62]
X = y + 11

2x + y = -2
2(y + 11) + y = -2
2y + 22 + y = -2
3y + 22 = -2
3y = -24
y = -8

x = y + 11
x = -8 + 11
x = 3

Solution set {3, -8} (C)
