nickels and dime are worth 7.00 she has 88 coins how many dimes does she have?
------------------
Quantity:: n + d = 88 coins
Value:: 5n+10d = 700 cents
---------------------------
Modify for elimination:
n + d = 88
n + 2d = 140
----
Subtract and solve for "d"::
d = 52 (# of dimes)
-----
Solve for "n"::
n + d = 88
n + 52 = 88
n = 36 (# of nickels)
------
