Answer 2

N=d+3 because she has 3 more n than d

5n+10d=150

These are givin 5cents in a Nickel so it’s 5n
10 cents in a dime so it’s 10d
We need her to have 150

Now substitute what we know n to be
Into the equation and solve

5(d+3) + 10d = 150
5d + 15 + 10d = 150
15d + 15= 150
15d=135
D=9

Jess had 9 dimes and 12 nickels
