Let the number of dimes = xLet the number of quarters = y You know that each dime is worth $0.10You know that each quarter is worth $0.25 Using the variables above, we can write two equations that represents the total number of coins and total amount. x + y = 47 eq10.10x + 0.25y = 8 eq2 You can use the substitution/elimination method to solve for x and y.<span>3/6/2017 </span>| Michael J.<span>

Steps:
I will solve your system by substitution.
(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

Answer:
(t-8)+10
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes it is because 2 sides would be the legs while 1 side is the hyptonuese so in this case 4 is a leg and 14 and 17 is the hyptonuese
