Answer: 13
I made an error on the question, and it provided the right answer. Thank me later.
5q + 2d = 270
To determine the intercepts, start by setting d to 0, then to find q. The conditions yield:
5q = 270
q = 54; (0, 54)
2d = 270
d = 135; (135, 0)
This equation illustrates the total number of coins in the piggy bank. For (0, 54), this indicates the quantity of quarters when dimes are absent, while (0, 135) displays the number of dimes when there are no quarters.
Response:
x ≥ 4
Step-by-step breakdown:
Given
- 4(8 - 3x) ≥ 6x - 8 ← distribute the term in parentheses on the left side
- 32 + 12x ≥ 6x - 8 (subtract 6x from both sides)
- 32 + 6x ≥ - 8 (add 32 to both sides)
6x ≥ 24 (divide both sides by 6)
Thus, x ≥ 4
