Question 428398: bob has 60 coins consisting of quarters and dimes. The coins combined value is $9.45. Find out how many are quarters and how many are dimes

quarters ------------ x
dimes ------------ y
1 x + 1 y = 60 .............1
25 x + 10 y = 945 .............2
multiply (1)by -10
Multiply (2) by 1
-10 x + -10 y = -600
25 x + 10 y = 945
Add the two equations
15 x=345
/15
x=23 quarters
plug value of x in (1)
x+y=60
23+y=60
y = 60 + -23
y = 37 dimes
