There are 62 dimes and 44 nickels.
N + D = 106 (There are 106 coins in all.)
1 nickel = 5 cents.
1 dime = 10 cents.
5*N + 10*D = 840 ($8.40 = 840 cents)
N + D = 106 -------(1)
N = (106 - D)
5*N + 10*D = 840 ---------(2)
5*(106-D) + 10*D = 840
530 - 5*D + 10*D = 840
5*D = 840 - 530
5*D = 310
D = 310/5 = 62
Eq(1) N + D = 106
N + 62 = 106
N = 106 - 62
N = 44

Not really an answer just warning you didn't actually attach a graph
The only difference between the two following expressions is
their exponent though it’s equal. If you would analyze carefully, the two
expressions are equal since 2/4 is just equal to ½. The two expressions are
equal in value so the presentation of the exponent is their only difference.
For this equation, you want to do it in fractions/ratios to properly solve it. You would have his average misses out of every field goal and his real missed attempts over total. It would look like this

=

You want to solve for x since x is the total amount of field goals that he attempted. You can do this by doing cross multiplication:
(2)(x) = (8)(11)
From here you can get:
2x = 88
Divide each side by 2 to isolate x and you get:
x= 44
So he made a total of 44 field goals.
To write this expression as a positive exponent we use this rule of exponents: x^color(red)(a) = 1/x^color(red)(-a) 5^-3 = 1/5^(- -3) .
