Answer:

There are 18 nickels and 52 dimes in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

First establish the variables of x and y

x = number of nickels.

y = numer of dimes.

Then develope the system of two linear equations with two variables.

The first equation can result from adding the number of nickels and dimes which result will be 70 coins then

x + y = 70

The second equation is related with the value, so if we multiply the number of nickels by its value and add it with the number of dimes by its value we will have $6.10 then we have:

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

Now we have the two equations and we are going to solve them by the elimination method

x + y = 70

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

We are going to eliminate x then we have to multiply by -0.05 in both sides of the first equation and we are going to leave the second equation the  same but in the first line to make easier the process.

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

(x+y)(-0.05) = 70*(-0.05)

0.05x + 0.1y = 6.10

<u>-0.05x -0.05y = -3.50</u>  (now do the operation)

0 +0.05y = 2.60

y = \frac{2.60}{0.05\\}

y = 52

We have 52 dimes.

Now replace in the initial equation the y value

x + 52 = 70

x = 70 - 52

x = 18

We have 18 nickels

Then in the jar we have 52 dimes and 18 nickels

What is the fornula for find arithemetic ewuation​
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d

a_n = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

a_1 = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

The general term of an arithmetic sequence can be written in terms of its first term a1, common difference d, and index n as follows: an=a1+(n−1)d. ... The nth partial sum of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the first and last terms as follows: Sn=n(a1+an)2.
