Answer:

Number of dimes = 16

Number of quarters = 17

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

Work Shown:

d = number of dimes

q = number of quarters

d+q = 33 coins total, this solves to d = 33-q

10d = value of all the dimes in cents

25q = value of all the quarters in cents

10d+25q = 585 cents total

--------------

Plug in d = 33-q and solve for q

10d+25q = 585

10(33-q) + 25q = 585

330-10q+25q = 585

15q+330 = 585

15q = 585-330

15q = 255

q = 255/15

q = 17

The man has 17 quarters

d = 33-q = 33-17 = 16

He also has 16 dimes.

--------------

Check:

16 dimes + 17 quarters = 33 coins total

16 dimes = 16*10 = 160 cents

17 quarters = 17*25 = 425 cents

160 cents + 425 cents = 585 cents

The answer is confirmed.

Solve y=-x+2 and y=-2x-1 as a graph, substitution, or elimination?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

(- 3, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - x + 2 → (1)

y = - 2x - 1 → (2)

Using substitution method.

Substitute y = - x + 2 into (2)

- x + 2 = - 2x - 1 ( add 2x to both sides )

x + 2 = - 1 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 3

Substitute x = - 3 into (1)

y = - (- 3) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

Solution is (- 3, 5 )

Help me<br> Line ℓ is perpendicular to line m. Find the value of x and w.
wel
138° + w° = 180° (sum of angle on a straight line)
w° = 180° - 138°
w = 42

19° + x° + w° = 90°
sub. in w=42,
19° + x° + 42° = 90°
x° = 90° - 19° - 42°
