Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:

0.05<em>n</em> + 0.10<em>d</em> = 1.50

==>  5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em> = 150

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:

<em>n</em> + <em>d</em> = 21

==>  -5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em> = -105

Add the two equations together:

(5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em>) + (-5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 + (-105)

Notice that the terms containing <em>n</em> get eliminated and we can solve for <em>d</em> :

(5<em>n</em> - 5<em>n</em>) + (10<em>d</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 - 105

5<em>d</em> = 45

<em>d</em> = 45/5 = 9

Plug this into either original equation to solve for <em>n</em>. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:

<em>n</em> + 9 = 21

<em>n</em> = 21 - 9 = 12

So Donna used 12 nickels and 9 dimes.

P=2a+b+c solve for c
Harman [31]
P = 2a + b + c

Subtract 2a + b on both sides

c = P - (2a+b)
c = P - 2a - b
