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

Answer:
y + 7 = - 
(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Here m = - and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus
y - (- 7) = - (x - 1), that is
y + 7 = - (x - 1) ← in point- slope form
