Answer:
He received 10 dimes and 15 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimes = $0.10
Quarters = $0.25
Variable x = dimes
Variable y = quarters
Create a pair of linear equations:
0.10x + 0.25y = 4.75
x + y = 25
Isolate any variable, using an equation of your choice:
x + y = 25
x = 25 - y
Plug in this new value of x into the other equation:
0.10(25 - y) + 0.25y = 4.75
Use the distributive property:
2.5 - 0.10y + 0.25y = 4.75
Combine like terms:
2.5 + 0.15y = 4.75
Isolate variable y:
0.15y = 2.25
y = 15
Plug in the value of y into any equation:
x + y = 25
x + 15 = 25
Isolate variable x:
x = 10
Answer:
distribute parenthesis
Step-by-step explanation:
6(2x + 1) = 4x - 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
12x + 6 = 4x - 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
8x + 6 = - 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
8x = - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = - 
The correct slope is -5/2.
The formula for slope is
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
The y-coordinate of the second point is 0, and the y-coordinate of the first point is 2. The x-coordinate of the second point is 0.8 and the x-coordinate of the first point is 0:
m = (0-2)/(0.8-0) = -2/0.8 = -2 ÷ 8/10 = -2 × 10/8 = -2/1 × 10/8 = -20/8 = -5/2
