So, first lets define our variables:
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels
so our first equation would be x+y = 16
Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows:
.10x+.05y = 1.35
now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:
.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35
combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5
So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels
Answer: Distributive Property
1. -56
2. say you owe someone 84$, so that's 84$ you don't have, then you give that person 28$. now you only owe them 56$.
The dependent variable is 5 and the independent is 15
The Correct answer is C. -14 + (-10) = -24 and 2 + (-28) = -26. When negative numbers are in play, the lower negative number is higher in value. So when solved -24 > -26
