Question 165599: Jasmine has three more nickles then dimes. There are 25 coins all together. how many of each coin is there? Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! n=Nickels d=dimes so n=d+3 and n+d=25 so substituting n's value from the 1st equation into the 2nd equation we get (d+3)+d=25 or 2d+3=25 and subtracting 3 from each side we get 2d=22 so d=11 and since n=d(11)=3 then n=14
so there are 14 nickels and 11 dimes
