Answer:
x = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since DF bisects ∠CDE then
∠EDF = ∠CDF, hence
8x = 4x + 30 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
4x = 30 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 7.5
Let x be the amount of nickels and y be the amount of quarters in a jar. Totally there are 87 coins, then x+y=87.
Since nickel is 5 cent coin and quarter is 25 cent coin, then 5x+25y=1255 ($12.55=1255 cents). Solve this system:x=87-y and 5(87-y)+25y=1255.
435-5y+25y=1255,
25y-5y=1255-435,
20y=820,
y=820÷20,
y=41,
x=87-41=46.
Answer: 46 nickels and 41 quarters.
Y= -2x+3
-2 is the slope which is given, and 3 is the y intercept which is also given, so plug those numbers in y=Mx+b to make your equation
