N₁*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

n₁ + n₂ = 12

-----------

This means that:

n₁ = 12 - n₂

And:

(12 - n₂)*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

12*$0.10 - n₂*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.05*(5-2) = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.05*3 = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.15 = $2.25

n₂*$0.15 = $2.25 - $1.20

n₂*$0.15 = $1.05

n₂ = ($1.05)/($0.15)

n₂ = 7

If n₂ = 7:

n₁ + 7 = 12

Therefore, n₁ = 5.

---------

Answer:

5 dimes and 7 quarters.

The linear combination method is the same as the elimination method.  Let's multiply the second equation by -2 so the x terms cancel each other out. When we do that we get a system of 2x-3y=13 and -2x-4y=8.  The x-terms cancel each other out giving us -7y=21 and y = -3.  Now sub -3 into one of the equations to solve for x.  x+2(-3)=-4, and x - 6 = -4.  x = 2.  So the solution for our system is (2, -3)

Since the length is 10 in. You must multiply it by \frac{1}{5} and then multiply by \frac{1}{2}. The reason for this is because if you divide ten by 5 it will be 2, then if you divide 2 by 2 it will be 1.
