Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
d = number of dimes
2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25 (d + 8 )
2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25d + 2 Combine like terms
2.80 = 0.35d + 2 Subtract 2 from both sides
0.80 = 0.35d Divide both sides by 0.35
d ≈ 2.29
No, it's not possible to have more quarters than dimes when the total is $2.80 because it's not possible to have part of a dime.

Answer:
X = 8.3 (shortened)
<u>Steps for answer!</u>
1. Subtract 2.5x from both sides.
1.5=4x-11-2.5x
2. Simplify 4x-11-2.5 to 1.5x-11
1.5=1.5x-11
3. Add 11 to both sides.
1.5+11=1.5x
4. Simplify 1.5+11 to 12.5.
12.5=1.5x
5. Divide both sides by 1.5.
12.5/1.5=x
6. Simplify 12.5/1.5 to 8.3333338.333333.
8.333333=x
7. Switch sides.
x=8.333333
