Answer 2

what is your opinion please ?

Answer 3

answer is C

Answer 4

i think we have to use substitution or elimination

Answer 5

See .10 and .25? Those are the cents.

Answer 6

I dont have an opinion because I don't fully understand the question @jhonyy9

Answer 7

ok i agree with C. but can you explain @bigdaddyHarsha why you said C ?

Answer 8

According to the Question X is quarters, and y is dimes, so i think there is no trick on finding the answer because X = 14, and y =17

Answer 9

@bellezabrilla how you think what mean ,,quarter" and what mean ,,dime" ?

Answer 10

it is c because if you multiply 14 and 25 plus 17 time 10
350+ 170

Answer 11

ok. @bigdaddyHarsha but why you have selected like right answer C. ?

Answer 12

Isn't the question giving you the answer? Like you could plug in 14 times .25 or 17 times .10.

Answer 13

=520

Answer 14

14*25+17*10=520

Answer 15

do you understand how i got that @bellezabrilla

Answer 16

because x = 14 which refers to quarters, and y =17 which is dimes so answer c refers to 14 quarters and 17 dimes.

Answer 17

Yes I have a full understanding of the question now thank you so much for your help @jhonyy9 @bigdaddyHarsha and @ageta

Answer 18

np

Answer 19

no probs

Answer 20

yes @bigdaddyHarsha this is right but everybody than you check the text of this exercise how begining ,,Ian has x quarters and y dimes " so from this result after there is solved that the roots are x=14 and y=17 and substituted them where you get the equation solved so from these result that C. is right sure

hope is understandably sure right easy
