Question

pls i wanted to understand this but obviously i'm to stupid to understand this on my own
pls help

Answer 1

The system has one solution, so it is consistent independent. The graphs intersect at the point (2, 8), which can be checked algebraically. Complete a table of values for each line.

The point (2, 8) is the solution to the system of equations. Since (2, 8) is the solution to the system of equations, Lucia has 2 dimes and 8 nickels.

hope it helps :) feel free to ask anymore questions
