Answer:

180 coins

Explanation:

N = number of nickels (no nickels spent)

D = number of dimes initially saved

D' = number of dimes left after spending

1) N = D + 43

2) D' = D - 17

3) N = 2*D' = 2*(D - 17)

Set equations 1) and 3) equal to each other and solve for D:

D + 43 = 2*(D - 17)

D + 43 = 2*D - 34

D = 43 + 34 = 77

N = D + 43 = 77 + 43 = 120 nickels left

D' = D - 17 = 77 - 17 = 60 dimes left

Total coins left = 120 + 60 = 180 coins (I hope this is not too confusing for you)

PLEASE PLEASE HELP??!?
UNO [17]
In the case of linear equations, the graph will always be a line. In contrast, a nonlinear equation may look like a parabola if it is of degree 2, a curvy x-shape if it is of degree 3, or any curvy variation thereof. While linear equations are always straight, nonlinear equations often feature curves.

Divde everything by 2 to get rid of the 2 from the x

0 divided by 2 is 0, 2x divded by 2 is x, 40 divided by 2 is 20.

Heather was asked to graph 3x - y = -4 by using slope and y-intercept. Her graph is shown.
irakobra [83]
Hello! The y-intercept is (0, 4), because the line crosses 0 in the x-axis at that point. We can cross out C and D, because those don't show that. The slope is rise/run. You would go up 3, and go to the right once. If you need to, solve for slope by doing y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. Let's use the point (0, 4) and (1, 7) as an example. We would set it up like this: 7 - 4 / 1 - 0. Solving that would give us 3/1 or just simply three. The slope is positive 3 and the y-intercept is (0, 4). The answer is A.
