Nadine's nickels: n
Delano's dimes: d
Money that Nadine has: 5n
Money that Delano has: 10d

n = d + 7
n - d = 7

5n + 40 = 10(d-4)
5n + 40 = 10d - 40
5n - 10d = -80

Solve:
We'll use substitution. After moving -1*d to the right, we get:
, or . Substitute that
into another equation:
and simplify: So, we know that d=23. Since , n=30.

Answer: .

Nadine has seven more nickels( N SAY ) than Delano has dimes ( D SAY ).
N=D+7
If Delano gives Nadine four of his dimes,
DELANO HAS = D-4 DIMES = 10(D-4)=10D-40 CENTS
NADINA WILL HAVE ...N NICKELS + 4 DIMES =5N+40 CENTS
then Delano will have the same amount of money as Nadine.
10D-40 = 5N + 40 = 5(D+7)+40
10D-5D=35+40+40=115
5D=115
D=115/5=23.............
D=23
N=23+7=30
N=30
TOGETHER THEY HAVE 30*5+23*10=150+230=380 CENTS..=$3.80
How much money do they have together? (Assume that Nadine has only nickels and Delano has only dimes.)
N=D

-----------------
Let Delano have "x" dimes ; their value is 10x cents.
Nadine has "x+7" nickels ; their value is 5x+35 cents.
---------
Now Delano gives Nadine four dimes; their value is 40cents
----------
EQUATION:
Nadine value = Delano value
5x+35+40 cents = 10x-40 cents
5x+75 = 10x-40
5x=115
x=35
So, Nadine has 5(35)+75=$2.50
and Delano has 10(35)-40=$3.10
Together they have $5.60
Cheers,
Stan H.
