Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 2y = 59 -> 9x = 59 - 2y -> x = (59-2y)/9

2x + 5y = 4 -> 2(59-2y)/9 + 5y = 4 -> (118 - 4y)/9 +5y = 4

118 - 4y + 45y = 4*9 -> 41y = -82 -> y = -2, thus x = 7

Joey has a full 40 coins consisting of only quarters and nickels if the total value is $5.00 how many of each does joey have.

Archy [21]

Q + n = 40....q = 40 - n
0.25q + 0.05n = 5

0.25(40 - n) + 0.05n = 5
10 - 0.25n + 0.05n = 5
-0.25n + 0.05n = 5 - 10
- 0.20n = -5
n = -5 / -0.20
n = 25 <=== 25 nickels

q + n = 40
q + 25 = 40
q = 40 - 25
q = 15 <== 15 quarters

What is the yintercept of f(x) =(1/2)^x<br> ?

Anestetic [448]

$\text{Find the y-intercept:}\\\\\text{To fidn the y-intercept, we would have to plug in 0 to x. Since the y-intercept}\\\text{exists whenever x is equal to 0}\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\f(x)=(\frac{1}{2})^0\\\\\text{We know that whenever the exponent is 0, it equals to 1}\\\\f(x)=1\\\\\text{Therefore, this makes the y-intercept 1.}\\\\\text{Answer is stated as a point on the graph}\\\\\boxed{(0,1)}$
