Diane has $1.80 in dimes and nickels. She has a total of 22 coins. How many of each kind does she have?
==============
Let d = the number of dimes
Then 22 - d = the number of nickels
The equation for the total amount is:
5(22-d) + 10d = 180
110 - 5d + 10d = 180
5d = 70
d = 14
So the number of dimes is 14 and the number of nickels is 8.

-------
Equations:
Quantity: d + n = 22 coins
Value: 10d +5n = 180
-------------------------
Multiply thru the Quantity Eq. by 5 to get:
5d + 5n = 110
10d + 5n = 180
--------------
Subtract and solve for "d":
5d = 70
d = 14 (# of dimes)
------
Solve for "n":
d + n = 22
14 + n = 22
n = 8 (# of nickels)

5(22-d)+10d=180
110 -5d+10d=180
5d=70
d=14
d+n=22
14+n=22
n=10
So dimes are 14 and nickels are 10
