Answer:
24 quarters and 49 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of nickels and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
- n+q=73 is an equation representing the total number of coins
- 0.05n+0.25q=8.45 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.05 and 0.25 come from the value of a nickel and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get n=73-q. We now substitute this for n in the second equation.
0.05(73-q)+0.25q=8.45
3.65-0.05q+0.25q=8.45
3.65+0.20q=8.45
After simplifying, we subtract 3.65 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
0.20q=4.8
q=24
We now know of the 73 coins that 24 are quarters. To find the number of nickels, we subtract 24 from 73 and get 49 nickels.
Let's convert the equation in point-slope form to slope-intercept form.
y - 4 = -(x - 6)
Multiply everything out.
y - 4 = -x + 6
Add 4 to both sides.
y = -x + 10
To be perpendicular, the slope of the new has to be the reciprocal of the other line. To slope in this equation is -1/1. To get the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator and change the sign too.
-1/1 becomes 1/-1, and changes to 1/+1, or 1.
y = x + b
Input the coordinate point and solve for b.
-2 = -2 + b
Add 2 to both sides.
0 = b
y = x
Answer:
y = -0.5x + 100
