Not sure on this. THanks for any help on this one. Answer by feliz1965(151) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let 5n = nickels
Let 10d = dimes
Then 5n + 10d = 665....This is the first equation.
The second equation is d = n - 11.
You have a system of linear equations in 2 variables.
Can you take it from here?
