The coins differ in value by 5¢, so swapping the numbers of them will change the value by 5¢ for each unit difference in the numbers of coins. Since
40¢ = 8 * 5¢
there must be 8 more dimes than nickels.

There are (22 +8)/2 = 15 dimes and 7 nickels.

_____
You could write some equations for this problem. Let n, d represent numbers of nickels and dimes.
.. n +d = 22
.. 10d +5n - (10n +5d) = 40 . . . . . . . cents
.. 5(d -n) = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . reversing the coin count changes the total by 5 cents for each unit of difference (d -n), as stated above.
.. d -n = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide the preceding equation by 5
Adding this last equation to the first gives
.. 2d = 22 +8
.. d = 30/2 = 15
.. n = 22 -15 = 7
There are 15 dimes and 7 nickels.

A/ab-bsquare + b/ab-asquare?​
lord [1]

Answer:

\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}

It can be solved as follows :

\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{a(b-a)}\\\\=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{-a(-b+a)}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{a-b}(\dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{b}{a})\\\\=\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a-b)(a+b)}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}

So, the solution of the given expression is equal to \dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}.
