<h3>Answer: a = f/p</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

We'll solve for 'a' doing these two steps in this exact order

Multiply both sides by 'a'
Divide both sides by p

We do this because we're following PEMDAS in reverse to isolate the variable we want.

The steps look like this

p = f/a

pa = f

a = f/p

Note how ultimately the 'a' and p variables swap places when going from p = f/a to a = f/p

A coin bank has 250 coins, dimes and quarters, worth $39.25. How many of each type of coin are there?

Brilliant_brown [7]

$x-\ number\ of\ dimes\\y-\ number\ of\ quarters\\\\ \left \{ {{x+y=250\ \ \ | x=250-y} \atop {0.1x+0.25y=39.25\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }} \right. \\\\ substitution\ method\\\\
0.1(250-y)+0.25y=39.25\\\\
25-0.1y+0.25y=39.25\\\\
25+0.15y=39.25\ \ \ \ | subtract\ 25\\\\0.15y=14.25\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 0.15\\\\y=95\\\\x=250-95=
155\\\\
There\ are\ 155\ dimes\ and\ 95\ quarters.$

Write the equation of the following graph in intercept form.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

A) $f(x)=0.2(x+2)(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph has x-intercepts at $x=5$ and $x=-2$ , so our factors for the polynomial will be $x+2$ and $x-5$ . This means we can rule out options B and D.
