Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
that should be the answer
I would have labeled the points as
(x1,y1) = (11,12)
(x2,y2) = (15,16)
then used the formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
However, your idea works as well. I don't see any errors with your steps. Nice work.
Let the number of half dollars be x,
number of quarters = x + 2
amount of half dollars = 0.5x
amount of quarters = 0.25(x + 2)
= 0.25x + 0.5
total amount = 0.5x + 0.25x + 0.5
= 0.75x + 0.5
0.75x + 0.5 = 11.75
0.75x = 11.25
x = 15
number of quarters = x + 2
= 15 + 2
= 17
There are 17 quarters and 15 half dollars.
