Answer by CubeyThePenguin(3113) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = number of dimes
q = number of quarters
d + q = 29
10d + 25q = 455
Multiply the first equation by 25. We are going to eliminate the variable q.
25d + 25q = 725
10d + 25q = 455
Subtract to get 15d = 270, so d = 18.
Lindsay has 18 dimes and 11 quarters.
