Answer:
There are 2 nickels and 6 dimes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nickels: x
Dimes: y
Constraints:
0.05x + 0.10y = 0.70
x + y = 8 ===> -0.05 * (x + y = 8) ===> -0.05x - 0.05y = -0.4
Add the two equations to eliminate x variable:
-0.05x - 0.05y = -0.4
_________________
0.05y = 0.3 ===> y = 6
Substitution to find x:
x + y = 8
x + 6 = 8
x = 2
Answer: Alberto caught up to Omar after 6 seconds, when Alberto had to run 54 meters.
A) Linear function
Explanation:
grows at a steady rate.
i+h=90
i+3h=210
so 2h=210-90=120
h=60
and i=90-60=30
so initial amount is $30 and hourly rate is $60
