The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation is written as
, "m" being the slope and "b" being the y-intercept.
The slope is how many times you rise/run in order to get from one point on the line to the next. You rise (go up/down) 1 unit and run (go left/right) 3 units. Plug in the numbers and you get 1/3.
The y-intercept is where the graph lands on the y-axis, which is 4.
The coordinate for point P which is one-third the length of the line segment from a to b is (-4, -5)
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.
Point a is at (-8, -13) and point b is at (4, 11). Hence the coordinates for point p(x, y) which is one-third the length of the line segment from a to b is:

The coordinate for point P which is one-third the length of the line segment from a to b is (-4, -5)
