Question 346431
Let n be the number of nickels and q be the number of quarters.  Thus
n + q = 46
Then we write the "value" equation...
5n + 25q = 560
Notice that we write $5.60 as 560 cents...
Now solve the equations by multiplying the first one by five and subtracting...
5n + 25q = 560
-(5n + 5q = 230)
we get
20q = 330
and q = 16.5 quarters...not possible...
It appears that either there is no solution or you copied it incorrectly...
