Kylie has $2.10 worth of nickels and dimes. She has a total of 24 nickels and dimes altogether. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of nickels, x, x, and the number of dimes, y, y, that Kylie has.

Kylie has 6 Nickels and 18 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable definitions:

x=the number of nickels

y=the number of dimes

One nickel is worth $0.05, so x nickels are worth 0.05x. One dime is worth $0.10, so y dimes are worth 0.10y. The total 0.05x+0.10y equals $2.10:

0.05x + 0.10y = 2.10

Since she has a total of 24 coins, we know x+y must equal 24.

x + y = 24

Write System of Equations:

0.05x + 0.10y = 2.10

x + y =  24

Solve for y in each equation:

0.05x + 0.10y= 2.10         x + y = 24

0.10y = 0.05x + 2.10         y = -x + 24

0.10y = -0.05x + 2.10

0.10                0.10                

  y = -1/2x + 21

The x variable represents the number of nickels and the y variable represents the number of dimes. Since the lines intersect at the point (6,18) we can say:

Kylie has 6 Nickels and 18 dimes

answer: options?

step-by-step explanation:

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
