You have $2.60 in quarters and dimes. You have five fewer quarters than dimes. What would the associated system of equations look like in augmented matrix form?
-----------
Equations:
Quantity: q = d - 5
Value: 10d + 25q = 260 cents
-------------------------------
Rearrange:
d - q = 5
10d + 25q = 260
-----------------
From those equations you can form the augmented matrix.
