Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
x = number of nickels in the student's pocket
y = number of dimes in the student's pocket
Each nickel has a value of $0.05, so x nickels have a value of 0.05x
Each dime has a value of $0.10, so y dimes have a value of 0.10y
The student has a total of 10 coins, thus:

The total value of the coins is $0.85, thus

The system of linear equations that represents this scenario is:

Answer: 1.4
Step-by-step explanation: First, swap the sides of the equation so that the one with the variable can be in front.
So, its 2y=2.8
To solve this, you simply divide both sides of the equation by 2.
2 divided by 2 is 0. That leaves you with the y by itself. Then, 2.8 divided by 2 is 1.4
So, y=1.4
(20 + 22 + 17) - 7 - 12 - (9 - x) = 37;
59 - 19 - 9 + x = 37;
31 + x = 37;
x = C) 6
