What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation that has the variable of the highest power of 1. The standard form of a linear equation is of the form Ax + B = 0.

The total money = $2 = 200 cents

Types of coins are dimes and quarters

Number of dimes are 13 more than quarters

let number of dimes be x and quarters be y

so our equation

$10x + 25y = 200\\x = (y+13)\\10(y+13) +25y= 200\\10y + 130 +25y = 200\\\\35y + 130 = 200\\y = 70/35 = 2$
