Step-by-step explanation:
Number of nickels with Jayden = x
Number of pennies with Jayden = y
Since, number of coins is at most 14,
x + y ≤ 14 -------(1)
Worth of nickels = $0.05x
Worth of pennies = $0.01y
Since, worth of pennies is not less than $0.34,
0.05x + 0.01y ≥ 0.34
5x + y ≥ 34 --------(2)
By using a graphing calculator,
Common point of of both the inequalities is (5, 9)
Therefore, Number of nickels = 5
Number of pennies = 9
