Using a system of equations, it is found that there are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are given as follows:
- Variable x: number of dimes in his pocket.
- Variable y: number of quarters in his pocket.
He has a total of 14 coins, hence:
x + y = 14 -> y = 14 - x.
They are worth $2.75, hence, considering the value of each coin(dimes $0.1 and quarters $0.25), we have that:
0.1x + 0.25y = 2.75
Since y = 14 - x:
0.1x + 0.25(14 - x) = 2.75
x = (0.25*14 - 2.75)/0.15.
x = 5.
y = 14 - x = 14 - 5 = 9.
There are 5 dimes and 9 quarters in his pocket.

Answer:
They are parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Same slope but different y-intercept
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 2 + (5 - 1) + 5
Always solve the ones inside the parentheses first.
3 + 2 + (4) + 5
5 + 4 + 5
9 + 5
= 14
85c - 0.5(85c) = 161.5
85c - 4.25c = 161.5
80.75c = 161.5
c = 161.5 / 80.75
c = 2............so she needs express proofreading
==================
x - 3 < -7 x + 5 > = 8
x < -7 + 3 x > = 8 - 5
x < -4 x > = 3
