Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}10d+5n=150\\d+n=22\\\end{cases}, where d is the number of dimes she has and n is the number of nickels she has.

Multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding both equations lets us isolate and solve for d:

10d+5n+(-5(d+n))=150+(-5(22)),\\5d=40,\\d=8

Plugging d=8 into any of the two equations will let us solve for n:

8+n=22,\\n=\fbox{$14$}.

Therefore, she has 14 nickels.

70+70+x=180
140+x=180
x=40
