x = dimes
y = quarters
---
x + y = 120
10x + 25y = 1875
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 120
10x + 25y = 1875
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

---
solution:
x = dimes = 75
y = quarters = 45
---
now by elimination:
---
-25(x + y = 120)
10x + 25y = 1875
---
-25x - 25y = -25*120
10x + 25y = 1875
---
add the two equations:
-15x = -25*120 + 1875
x = (-25*120 + 1875)/-15
x = 75
y = 120 - x
y = 120 - 75
y = 45
---
solution by elimination:
x = dimes = 75
y = quarters = 45
