Question

Please Help, Thank you!

Answer 1

let x be the number of quarters, and y be the number of dimes.

we know that x + y = 29

then we are also given that

y = 5 + 3x

so we can solve for x and y:

plug y into the first equation:

x + 5 + 3x = 29

4x = 24

x = 6

and

y = 5 + 3*6 = 23

I have 6 quarters and 23 dimes
