how many of each type of coin are in his bank if he has $2.00 in nickels and dimes in his bank and the number of dimes is five more than twice as many nickels
***
let x=number of nickels
2x+5=number of dimes
.05x+.10(2x+5)=2.00
.05x+.20x+.5=2.00
.25x=1.50
x=6
2x+5=17
number of nickels=6
number of dimes=17
