Answer:
39 dimes
Explanation:
From the graph:
• Total number of nickels = 9+4+7=20
,
• Total number of dimes = 7+10+9 = 26
The ratio of total nickels to total dimes = 20:26
If the total number of nickels the students donate is increased to 30, we have:

We then solve for x:

The number of dimes they should donate to keep the ratio of total nickels to total dimes the same is 39.
Answer:
The solution is (-5, -2).
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll use "elimination by addition and subtraction."
Multiply the second row by -2. Our system
– 7x – 10y = 45
-3x - 5y = 25
becomes:
– 7x – 10y = 45
+6x + 10 y = -50
-------------------------
-x = 5, so that x = -5.
Substituting -5 for x in the second equation results in
-3(-5) - 5y = 25, or 15 - 5y = 25. This reduces to
-5y = 10, so that y must be -2.
The solution is (-5, -2).
The answer to the question is 30
