Question 927478: Katie has a collection of nickels, dimes and quarters with a total value of $8.15. There are 8 more dimes than nickels and 7 more quarters than nickels, how many of each coin does she have? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = nickels
y = dimes
z = quarters
---
5x + 10y + 25z = 815
y = x + 8
z = x + 7
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
5x + 10y + 25z = 815
x - y = -8
x - z = -7
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
