Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins: 

One dime = $0.10 

One quarter = $0.25 

Let x = number of dimes 

        y<span> = number of quarters</span> 

Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that: 

<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y) 

Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that: 

0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40 

To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y) 

0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40 

7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40 

0.15y = 5.40 

y = 36 

X = 70 – 36 

X = 34 

Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span> 

34 dimes = $3.40 

36 dimes = $9.00 

<span>Total           </span><span>$12.40</span>

Answer:

Step 1) She should have added 25 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a -25 in the original equation, to properly cancel it out, she should have added it to both side, not subtracted. This would ensure that the -25 on the left of the = is cancelled out.
