Answer:  15  dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels are 5 cents and dimes are 10 cents  and since they are a total of 1.95 coins in total we can set up the two equations and solve for how much there are for each of the money.

x + y = 24  

0.05x + 0.10y = 1.95   so solve for  y  and  x is the number of nickels while y is the number of dimes.

x+y=24

   -y    -y

x = -1y +24  

0.05(-1y +24) + 0.10y = 1.95

 -0.05y + 1.2 + 0.10y = 1.95

       0.05y + 1.2 = 1.95

                     -1.2   -1.2

          0.05y = 0.75

   y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

15t + 30 = 20t | -15t

30 = 5t

t = 30/5 = 6

20 + 5t = -6t + 86 | + 6t

20 + 11t = 86 | -20

11t = 66

t = 6

18t + 20 = 24t + 50 | -18t

20 = 6t + 50 | -50

-30 = 6t

t = -30/6 = -5

18t - 2 = 10t + 54 | -10t

8t - 2 = 54 | +2

8t = 56

t = 56/8 = 7

7t - 5 = 15t + 91 | -7t

-5 = 8t + 91 | -91

-96 = 8t

t = -96/8 = -12

What’s the best way to revise for maths? can never remember how to do anything.
Allisa [31]

Repetition is a guaranteed way to learn something. If it is a formula you need to learn, try doing flashcards and reading it over and over again until you can spell it without the flahcard. If it is something like factoring, just do a bunch of factoring problems until you get the feel of it.
