So, first lets define our variables:
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels
so our first equation would be x+y = 16
Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows:
.10x+.05y = 1.35
now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:
.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35
combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5
So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels
Answer:
2/3 ounces leaked per day
Step-by-step explanation:
6/9 = 2/3
If the slope is undefined, then your line is a vertical line since vertical lines can have no slope (they don't have any lateral movement). Because it must pass through (- 8, 0), x must = - 8.
Your equation is x = - 8
