Question 930178: A jar contains n nickels and d dimes. There are 21 coins in the jar, and the total value of the coins is $1.50. How many nickels and how many dimes are in the jar? (Hint: Nickels are worth $0.05 and dimes are worth $0.10.) Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = nickels
y = dimes
---
x + y = 21
5x + 10y = 150
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 21
5x + 10y = 150
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
