Answer:

There are 50 dimes and 110-50 = 60 quarters in the collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D be the number of dimes.

Then the number of quarters is (110-D).

The "value equation" is

10D + 25*(110-D) = 2000.

Simplify and solve for D:

10D + 2750 - 25D = 2000,

-15D = 2000 - 2750,

-15D = -750,

D = %28-750%29%2F%28-15%29 = 50.

I think this is correct. I’m not for sure but I did a lot of work. You put g(2) in linear standard which is practically alphabetical order in which numbers go before letters. You do this for both question. So both go to 2(g) and 5(g). Then you multiply g by the number and get 2(2) and 5(5). Then multiply the two numbers and get 2(2)=4 and 5(5)=25.

Hope this helped ya!
