"Making a detailed list is the key to this problem. One hint that makes the numbers a little easier to work with is to realize that we can really solve the problem by counting the ways to get to just 35 cents. Once we have these ways, we would just add two pennies to each of them. Using one quarter, there are 4 ways. If we don’t use a quarter, there are 2 ways using exactly three dimes, 4 ways using exactly two dimes and 6 ways using exactly one dime. If we don’t use dimes or quarters, there are 7 ways if we use at least one nickel. Then there is 1 way that uses only pennies. This is a total of 4 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 1 = 24 ways"

SINCE you only have one dime, quarter, nickle and penny, we have to alter this a bit. 4+6+7+1 =18. Hope this helps.

for a popular equation utilising the variables x and y, slope intercept form appears like this: y = m*x + b the place m is the slope and b is the intercept (on the y-axis). right here's a thank you to get there: 5*y - 3*x = 30 5*y = 3x + 30 y = 3/5*x + 6 3/5 is the slope, and six is the intercept.
