====================
She has 5 more dimes than nickels.
Setting the 5 dimes aside leaves and equal # of nickels and dimes worth $28.95.
Each pair is 15 cents.
2895/15 = 193 pairs
--> 193 nickels & 198 dimes
================
Or,
5n + 10d = 2945 (total value)
n = d - 5 (5 fewer nickels)
Solve for n & d
