Answer: add all of the k's together. simplifying means grouping like variables together.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 25 it takes alto of steps thou so u can use this as a answer to check our work
X=quarters, y=dimes
7+2x=y
0.25x+0.1y=10.15
we substitute the first equation into the second equation
0.25x+0.1(7+2x)=10.15
0.25x+0.7+0.2x=10.15
0.45x+0.7-0.7=10.15-0.7
0.45x=9.45
0.45x/0.45=9.45/0.45
x=21 quarters
7+2x=y, x=21
7+2(21)=y
7+42=y
y=49 dimes
check: 0.25x+0.1y=10.15 when x=21, y=49
21(0.25)=5.25 in quarters
49(0.1)=4.90 in dimes
5.25+4.90=10.15
.6 would be your answer. You just substitute in.
