Let d = number of dimes, q = number of quarters
<span>Sally has 20 coins in her piggy bank, so </span>
<span>d + q = 20 </span>
<span>The total amount of money is $3.05. </span>
<span>Use the value of each coin multiplied by its number to get total value </span>
<span>.10d + .25q = 3.05 </span>
<span>multiply everything by 100 to clear the decimal places </span>
<span>10d + 25q = 305 and </span>
<span>d + q = 20 </span>
<span>solve the second equation above in terms of either d or q - lets do d </span>
<span>d = 20 - q </span>
<span>sub that into the first equation </span>
<span>10d + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>10(20 - q) + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>200 - 10q + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>15q = 105 </span>
<span>q = 105/15 = 7 </span>
<span>and from above </span>
<span>d = 20 - q = 20 - 7 = 13 </span>
<span>so, there are 13 dimes and 7 quarters </span>
<span>verify with orig problem </span>
<span>13 + 7 = 20, OK, and $1.30 + $1.75 = $3.05

Answer: x=-1 and y= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x, x+y=-4
Minus y from both sides so it'll be X=-y-4
Now substitute -y-4 in x-y=2 and solve for y
-y - 4 -y=2
Add like terms, -2y - 4=2
Add 4 to both sides -2y=6
Divide both sides by -2
y= -3
Substitute -3 in x=-y - 4
x=-(-3) - 4
- × (-3)= 3
3 - 4= -1
x= -1
