Question 929095: Cheyenne has a collection of coins that consists of nickles and quarters. The value of these coins is $4.40. If the number of nickles in her collection is 6 times the number of quarters, how many of each coin does she have in her collection? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number of nickels
y = number of quarters
--
5x + 25y = 440
x = 6y
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
5x + 25y = 440
x - 6y = 0
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
