Question 188521: Laura has $4.50 in dimes and quarters. She has 3 more dimes than quarters. How many quarters does she have.
How do you find two linear equations (y=mx+b), one that shows quantity of the coins. And one that shows the amount the coins are worth. I am suppose to use "d" and "q" to represent the dimes and quarters.
So far I got: q=dx+3 and 4.50=qx+d

Question 189283: Could you please help me solve this system?
10m-3n=5
5m+2n=-8
I thought I could solve it easily by the addition method, but I came up with some crazy fractions and got stuck. Please help.
This is how I started:
2(10m-3n=5)
3(5m+2n=-8)
20m-6n=10
15m+6n=-24
35m=-34
This is where I got stuck. Please help!
This problem did not come from a text book, it came from a worksheet.
