A jar contains x quarters and y nickels. The jar contains $5.45. What linear equation represents the relationship between the number of quarters, the number of nickels, and the value of the coins in the jar?

$0.25x + $0.05y = $5.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 1 nickel = $0.05

and 1 quarter = $0.25

Given that the jar contains x quarters and y nickels

The total amount of nickel in the jar

= $0.05y

The total amount of quarter in the jar

= $0.25x

Hence the total amount in the jar considering both nickels and quarters

= $0.25x + $0.05y

Since the jar contains $5.45

then

$0.25x + $0.05y = $5.45

This is the linear equation that represents the relationship between the number of quarters, the number of nickels, and the value of the coins in the jar

these sign is used to tell weather the number is greater or less than the number   <   or >     but this sign means its equal =
