Quotient means division
-36/-4 + 9 = x
9 + 9 = x
18 = x
The answer is
q + d = 12
0.25q + 0.10d = 2.40
q - the number of quarters
d - the number of dimes
You have 12 <span>coins, all quarters and dimes:
q + d = 12
The value of 1 quarter is $0.25.
The value of 1 dime is $0.10.
Therefore, if you want to pay </span>$2.40 you will have q quarters of value $0.25(0.25q) and d dimes of value $0.10d (0.10d).
The second equation is:
0.25q + 0.10d = 2.40
