Represent the unknows with n and d.
Then n+d = 44 (# of coins)
and
$0.05n + $0.10d = $3.10 (value of coins)
Solving the first equation for n, we get n = 44-d. Subst. 44-d for n in the 2nd equation:
0.05(44-d) + 0.10d = 3.10
Then 2.20 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 3.10, or
2.20 + 0.05d = 3.10, or 0.05d = 0.90. Solving for d,
0.90
d = -------- = 18
0.05
There are 18 dimes and 44-18 nickels. How many nickels is that? ;)
Answer:
Sorry this is late, but it could help future people. Answers are in the picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
I took the quiz. :)
I don't know for sure I'm going to ace grade next year but I know that you you need to put the coefficients with the same variable together and the variable next to the coefficients and multiply or add or divide or subtract them and you get your answer and this is just 7th grade math I'm relying on
