Algebra.Com's Answer #131393 by EMStelley(208) You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you call the number of dimes d, then the number of nickels is d+5. The dollar amount of dimes would be 0.10d and the dollar amount of nickels would be 0.05(d+5). So the coin back having 2.05 means \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If you multiply both sides of the equation by 100, you get \n" ); document.write( " |
