Kelley has a total of $6 in dimes and quarters. If she has a total of 30 coins, how many quarters does she have? And I have to use it in substitution form and elimination form. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = number of dimes she has

and
(1)
(1)
