This is a weird question but I believe sense you did bring the money then you are going to buy lunch.
Use elimination.
-x = -6
X = 6
-4 (6) + 4y = 12
Y = 9
(X,y)
(6,9) is the solution
1 nickels =$0.05
1 dime= $0.1
let the number of nickels be x and that of dimes be y.
total number of coins is given by:
x+y=42
hence:
y=42-x.......i
total amount of cash will be:
0.05x+0.1y=3.30.........ii
substituting i in ii we get:
0.05x+0.1(42-x)=3.30
0.05x+4.2-0.1x=3.3
-0.05x=-0.9
x=-0.9/(-0.05)
x=18
hence the the number nickels is x=18, the number of dimes will be y=42-x=42-18=24
