Question 927013: A man has 33 coins in his pocket, all of which are dimes, quarters and nickels. The total value of his change is $5.30. If the number of quarters is twice the number of nickels, how many of each does he have? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = nickels
y = dimes
z = quarters
---
x + y + z = 33
5x + 10y + 25z = 530
z = 2x
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y + z = 33
5x + 10y + 25z = 530
2x - z = 0
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
