10. Zola has saved dimes and quarters. She has $4.00 and 25 coins. Define the variables, and write a system of equations to determine the number of dimes and quarters, Then solve the system using the best method for the situation,

#of dimes is 15 # of quarters is 10

Step-by-step explanation:method is elimination my multiplication. First equation is x+y=25 multiply it by -10. Second equation is 10x+25y=400. A quarter is .25 and a dime is .10 but to avoid all decimals I multiplied by 10 but it doesn’t matter because I did it on both sides. Use systematic equation solving to get 15y=150 then y=10. Plug it into the first to get x+10=25 subtract to get 15. Mr. Jacobs does get excessive sometimes lol.

boxplot e is the answer

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
