Answer:

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then (57-d) is the number of quarters, and the total value (in cents) is ...

  10d +25(57 -d) = 1065

  -15d +1425 = 1065 . . . . . . simplify

  -15d = -360 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1425

  d = -360/-15 = 24 . . . divide by the coefficient of d

There are 24 dimes in the jar.
