Algebra.Com's Answer #333966 by John10(297) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let number of nickles be x \n" ); document.write( "Let ----------dimes be y \n" ); document.write( "The VALUES: \n" ); document.write( "0.05x + 0.10y = 14.50 \n" ); document.write( "The amount of each type: \n" ); document.write( "x = y + 95 \n" ); document.write( "Solve the system of two linear equations: \n" ); document.write( "0.05x + 0.10y = 14.50 \n" ); document.write( "x = y + 95 \n" ); document.write( "Hint: x = 160 and y = 65 \n" ); document.write( "John10:) \n" ); document.write( " |
