Hello! Although I can't give you the answers automatically. I'll just show you some steps on how to subtract & if you're still not figuring it out just message me! :)
Step 1: You have to make sure both denominators are both exactly the same or you won't get the answer correctly.
Step 2: Then subtract the numerators
Step 3: Simplify if needed.
Ex; If I have 1/2 of the pizza and my friend has 1/6 of the pizza. What will be my result if I subtract the fractions?
We'll have to take 1/2 and 1/6. You'll have to find what makes those numbers, what I mean is by multiplying both numerators and denominators.
You multiply by 3.
2 x 3 = 6
Then you'll change the denominator into 1/2 = 1/6
Result:
Then you just subtract.
3 - 1 = 2
Hint: Denominator never changes when you have your final result. So it's 2/6. It needs to be simplified.
We divide by 2.
I hope this example helped you understand how to subtract fractions & if you don't know how to add mixed fractions you can always do around the world or other examples your teacher can provide! :)

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of dimes and y represent the number of nickels. The total number of coins is 37; this gives us the equation
x+y = 37
Each dime is worth ten cents, or 0.10, and each nickel is worth five cents, or 0.05. The total amount of money is given by
0.10x+0.05y = 2.65
This gives us the system
To solve this, we will use substitution. We will isolate x in the first equation:
x+y=37
Subtract y from each side:
x+y-y = 37-y
x = 37-y
Substitute this into the second equation:
0.10(37-y)+0.05y = 2.65
Using the distributive property,
0.10(37)-0.10(y)+0.05y = 2.65
3.70-0.10y+0.05y = 2.65
Combining like terms,
3.70-0.05y = 2.65
Subtract 3.70 from each side,
3.70-0.05y-3.70 = 2.65-3.70
-0.05y = -1.05
Divide both sides by -0.05:
-0.05y/-0.05 = -1.05/-0.05
y = 21
There were 21 nickels.
