x = 5c coins
y = 10c coins
z = 25c coins
---
5x + 10y + 25z = 185
x = 2y
z = 2 + x/2
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
5x + 10y + 25z = 185
x - 2y = 0
0.5x - z = -2
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = 5c coins = 6
y = 10c coins = 3
z = 25c coins = 5
