Question 829808: Lori needed to put some coins in a parking meter. Looking in her wallet, she found some nickels and dimes. The number of dimes she placed in the meter was 3 less than 4 times the number of nickels. If she put $1.50 in the meter, how many of each coin did she use? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
x = nickels
y = dimes
---
5x + 10y = 150
y = 4x - 3
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form:
---
5x + 10y = 150
4x - y = 3
---
copy and paste the above linear system in standard form into this matrix-method solver:
