Question

the piggybank had 25.65 in dimes and quarters if there were 20 more quarters than dimes, how many dimes were in the piggybank

Answer 1

X = number of dimes
y = number of quarters
---
10x + 25y = 2565
y = x + 20
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
10x + 25y = 2565
x - y = -20
---
