Answer:

Let x be the number of dimes and y the number of quarters

x +y = 100

a dime is $0.10 and a quarter is $0.25

0.1x + 0.25y = 21.40 multiply by 100 to remove the decimals

10x + 25y = 2140, From the first equation y = 100 - x and plug it in to the second equation.

10x + 25(100 -x) = 2140

10x + 2500 - 25x =2140

2500 - 15x = 2140

360 = 15x x = 24 and y = 76

There are 24 dimes and 76 quarters

Answer:

76 Quarters = $19.00

24 Dimes = $2.40

$19.00 + $2.40 = $21.40

What are the x– and y–intercepts of the graph of y = 2x^2 – 8x – 10?

Nadya [2.5K]

x-intercepts are found by setting y=0
$y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow0=2x^2-8x-10$
factor out a 2 $0=2(x^2-4x-5)\rightarrow0=x^2-4x-5$
 $0=(x-5)(x+1)$ roots should be x=-1,5
therefore, x-intercepts are (-1,0) and (5,0)

y-intercepts are found by setting x=0
$y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow y=2(0)^2-8(0)-10$
$\rightarrow y=0-0-10=-10$
therefore, y-intercept is (0,-10)
