You can put this solution on YOUR website!
They don't specify which is x or y so i will say x=n and y=d
\n" ); document.write( "I like using the first letter of the word because its easier to know what I'm calculating. Its a personal preference do as you please.
\n" ); document.write( "n=nickels which are 0.05 of a dollar
\n" ); document.write( "d=dimes which are 0.1 of a dollar
\n" ); document.write( "\"n%2Bd=27\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".05n%2B.1d=1.95\" id multiply by ten so i can use the subtraction method
\n" ); document.write( "\".5n%2B1d=19.50\" subtract the top equation with this one the d's cancel then solve for n
\n" ); document.write( "\"1n-.5n=27-19.50\" add like terms
\n" ); document.write( "\".5n=7.50\" divide by .5 or multiply by 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"n=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"27-14=d\" solve for d
\n" ); document.write( "\"12=d\"
\n" ); document.write( "So 12 dimes and 15 nickels
\n" ); document.write( "Or
\n" ); document.write( "x=15 and y=12
\n" ); document.write( "Lol found it i thought i did this right. All is well now.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
