Answer:

3 nickels and 5 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number of nickels

q = number of quarters

q = n+2

.25q + .05n = 1.40

Using the first equation and replacing q in the second equation

.25( n+2) + .05n = 1.40

Distribute

.25n+.50 +.05n = 1.40

Combine like terms

.30n +.5 = 1.40

Subtract .5 from each side

.3n +.5-.5 = 1.40-.4

.3n = .9

Divide by .3

.3n/.3 = .9/.3

n = 3

q = n+2

q=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

Nickel coin = x

Quarter coin = y

y = n + 2

0.25y + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25(x + 2) + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.5 + 0.05x = 1.4

0.25x + 0.05x = 1.4 - 0.5

0.30x = 0.9

x = 0.9/0.3

x = 3

y = 3 + 2 = 5

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y= -2x+3 and goes through the point (3, -6).

svetlana [45]

Answer:

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

because it's parallel --> a=-2

therefore we have y=-2x+b

the line goes through the point (3,-6) --> (-2).3+b=-6 --> b=0

Kelsie sold digital cameras on her website. She bought the cameras for 465 each and included a 60% markup to get the selling pri

melamori03 [73]

Each camera costs $651 dollars, assuming I understood the question format correctly.
Find 60% of 465, which is 186. Because it is markup, add 186 to the original price. 465+186 = 651.
Therefore, the price is $651.

Number three, because if you look at it, it is a valid one right away. Int he point (0,1), the y is one. Therefore,

Line L is mapped onto line m by a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 4.5. Line m is represented by y=3x+8 an

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The equation of line L is

$y = 3x + \frac{16}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming we want to find the equation of line L.

The equation of line M is

$y = 3x + 8$

and it passes through (-4,-4). This line was obtained after a dilation of line M by a scale factor of 4.5.

The slope of both lines are the same.

Therefore line L also has slope

$m = 3$

We need to obtain the y-intercept of line L. We divide the y-intercept of line M by 4.5 to get that of line L.

$b = \frac{8}{4.5}$

$b = \frac{16}{9}$

The equation of line L is of the form:

$y = mx + b$

We substitute to get;

$y = 3x + \frac{16}{9}$
