Write and solve system of equation that models the situation Answer by benni1013(206) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What do we know? We know that we are picking a total of eighteen coins. We also know that a nickel has the value of .05 and dimes have a value of .10. Letting x=nickels and y=dimes we can create our two equations. x+y= 18 and .05x+.10y=1.55. This is the writing part go ahead try the solving part yourself. Thanks!
