To find value of y in times o x we have to transfrom this equation.
LEts do this
x-0.25y=1.5 /-x subtract x both sides
-0.25y=1.5-x /*4 multiply by 4 both sides
-0.25y*4=4(1.5-x)
-1y=6-4x /*-1 multiply both sides by -1
y=4x-6
N=nickels
d=dimes
n+d = 30
n+18 = 30
n = 30-18
n = 12 (number of nickels)
therefore Mary has 12 nickels
