Answer:

12 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Thus :

0.1

0.25

4.5

And we know that she has 3 more dimes than quarters

Thus :

We just replace the value of a in the equation :

0.1

⋅

(

)

0.25

4.5

0.1

0.3

0.25

4.5

0.1

0.25

4.5

−

0.3

( we substract 0.3 on each side )

0.35

4.2

0.35

( we divide by 0.35 on each side )

: Laura has

quarters

We can now get

0.1

0.25

4.5

0.1

0.25

⋅

4.5

0.1

( we divide by 0.1 on each side )

: Laura has

We can now verify :

: correct !

And

, so Laura has

more dimes than quarters

Answer:

y = 3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Line is passing through the points (2, - 2) & (0, - 8)

Slope of line

$\: m = \frac{ - 8 - ( - 2)}{0 - 2} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 8 + 2}{ - 2} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 6}{ - 2} \\ \\ = 3 \\ \\y-intercept = b = - 8\\ \\equation \: of \: line \: in \:slope \:\\ intrecept \: form \: is \: given \: as \\ \\ y = mx + b \\ \\ y = 3x + ( - 8) \\ \\ \huge \red {y = 3x - 8}$

After drawing the line y = 2x − 1 and marking the point A = (−2, 7), Kendall is trying to decide which point on the line is clos

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having drawn the line, Kendall must verify that the point P belongs to the line y = 2x-1 and then calculate the distance between A-P and verify if it is the closest to A or there is another one of the line

Having the point P(3,5) substitue x to verify y

y=2*(3)-1=6-1=5 (3,5)

Now if the angle formed by A and P is 90º it means that it is the closest point, otherwise that point must be found

$d_{AP}=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}=\sqrt{(5-7)^{2}+(3-(-2}))^{2}}=\\\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(5)^{2}}=\sqrt{29}$
