x = # of nickels
11-x = # of dimes

The total value is 70 cents:

Solve using basic algebra; I leave that to you.

You can solve the problem without formal algebra by examining different possible combinations of 11 dimes and nickels:

11 nickels and 0 dimes: 55 cents
10 nickels and 1 dime: 60 cents
....

It should be clear that only one combination of 11 dimes and nickels will have a total value of 70 cents.

ANSWER: 1 combination of 11 dimes and nickels has a total value of 70 cents
