Answer:
210 ÷7 = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
We can round the numbers to numbers that make the math easier
I will round 208 to 210
We know 21 divide by 7 is 3
210 ÷7 = 30
This is very close to the actual answer.
208÷7 = 29.71428571........
So, first lets define our variables:
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels
so our first equation would be x+y = 16
Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows:
.10x+.05y = 1.35
now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:
.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35
combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5
So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels

Hi there! :)
6c - (3 - 3c) = 24
Distribute the negative sign with terms inside the parenthesis;
6c - (3) - (-3c) = 24
6c - 3 + 3c = 24
Combine like terms:
9c - 3 = 24
Add 3 to both sides:
9c = 27
Divide both sides by 9:
c = 3.
