a. Write a system of inequalities that represents the number of quarters, $q$, and the number of dimes, $d$, that Mai could have.
b. Is it possible that Mai has each of the following combinations of coins? If so, explain or show how you know. If not, state which constraint—the amount of money or the number of coins—it does not meet. (From Unit 2, Lesson 25.)
i. 3 quarters and 12 dimes
ii. 4 quarters and 10 dimes
iii. 2 quarters and 5 dimes

AnnaRodrigues · Answer

The correct word to fill in the blank is 'claims', as it means to assert something confidently, fitting the context of denying involvement in an action. The completed sentence is 'He claims he didn't do it.', which reflects a person's belief in their innocence. Assertions play a critical role in discourse by conveying commitment to the truth of a statement.
