Answer: The system of equations are
0.1x + 0.05y = 1.9
y = x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The worth of a dime is 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes
10/100 = $0.1
The worth of a nickel is 5 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes
5/100 = $0.05
Let x represent the number of dimes that Victoria has.
Let y represent the number of nickels that Victoria has.
Victoria has 1.90 dollars worth of nickels and dimes. The expression would be
0.1x + 0.05y = 1.9
She has two more nickels than dimes. This is expressed as
y = x + 2
