Step-by-step explanation:
a) <u>Jamal spent:</u>
<u>Isaiah spent:</u>
<u>The equation is:</u>
b) <u>Solving the equation</u>
- 2x = 3x - 6.75
- 3x - 2x = 6.75
- x = 6.75
c) <u>Jamal's items cost </u>
<u>Isaiah's items cost </u>
- $6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each
X = 4
y = 0

I think in this situation the best method would be a guess and check. You know that there are 8 dimes more than there are nickels. So just keep increasing each number by one until you reach $1.40. If there were 9 dimes and 1 nickels it would add up to $0.95. If there were 10 dimes and 2 nickels, it would add up to $1.10. If there were 11 dimes and 3 nickels, it would add up to $1.25. If there were 12 dimes and 4 nickels, it would add up to $1.40. So your answer is 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
I hope this helped!
