.
D=number of dimes; Q=number of quarters=D-3
.
$0.10(D)+$0.25(Q)=$1.70
$0.10(D)+$0.25(D-3)=$1.70
$0.10(D)+$0.25D-$0.75=$1.70
$0.35D=$2.45
D=7
ANSWER 1: There were 7 dimes.
.
Q=D-3-7-3=4
ANSWER 2: There were 4 quarters
.
CHECK:
$0.10(D)+$0.25(Q)=$1.70
$0.10(7)+$0.25(4)=$1.70
$0.70+$1.00=$1.70
$1.70=$1.70

dimes: d
quarters: q
----------------------------------------------------
d= q+3 we'll use this value for d next
.10d+.25q = 1.70 now substitute for d:
.10(q+3)+.25q= 1.70
.10q+.30+.25q= 1.70 subtract .30 on both sides and add q on left
.35q= 1.40 divide both sides by .35
q= 4 He has 4 quarters and
d= q+3= 4+3= 7 he has 7 dimes
-----------------------------------------
Check:
4*.25= 1
7*.10= .70
1+.70= 1.70 We have the right answer
