The correct answer is not up there. its -125a^7
Answer:
(8, -22)
Step-by-step explanation:
The tables each contain four (x,y) points of a straight line. You can see that for every increase of x by 2, y decreases by 8 in the first one (observe 26, 18, 10 2), and decreases by 6 in the second.
If you continue the table with x=4, 6 and 8, you get y=-22 in both cases for x=8. That is the intersection, so the solution is (8,-22).
Added a graph. The equations are y=10-4x and y=2-3x respectively. Hope you understand a bit of this (brief) explanation.

Answers:</h3><h3>
6 quarters</h3><h3>
2 dimes</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
d = number of dimes
q = number of quarters
q = d+4 since she has 4 more quarters than dimes
$1.70 = 170 cents
10d = value of all the dimes in cents
25q = value of all the quarters in cents
10d+25q = total value of all the coins in cents
10d+25q = 170
10d+25( q ) = 170
10d+25( d+4 ) = 170 .... plug in q = d+4
10d+25d+100 = 170 .... distribute
35d+100 = 170
35d = 170-100 ..... subtract 100 from both sides
35d = 70
d = 70/35 ... divide both sides by 35
d = 2
He has 2 dimes
q = d+4
q = 2+4
q = 6
He also has 6 quarters
------------------
Check:
1 dime = 10 cents
2 dimes = 20 cents ..... multiply both sides by 2
1 quarter = 25 cents
6 quarters = 150 cents ..... multiply both sides by 6
(2 dimes) + (6 quarters) = (20 cents) + (150 cents) = 170 cents
This confirms the answers.
