There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total coins = 253
Value of coins = $15.95 = 15.95*100 = 1595 cents
Value of each nickel = 5 cents
Value of each dime = 10 cents
According to given statement;
x+y=253 Eqn 1
5x+10y=1595 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 5

Putting y=66 in Eqn 1

There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.

Answer:
-7 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The temperature is predicted to be ...
5 +3(-4) = 5 -12 = -7 . . . . degrees
__
To find the change, multiply the rate of change by the time period. To find the new temperature, add the change to the starting temperature.
The answer would be 2(4x + 3y) cause the 2 gets multiplied by the numbers in the parentheses so 2x4x = 8x and 2x 3y = 6y
