Question 547498
dimes = x numbers
quarters = y numbers
convert $ to cents

10x+25y=370
25x+10y=295

dimes	x	
Quarters	y	
		
10	x	+	25	y	=	370	.............1	
25	x	+	10	y	=	295	.............2	
Eliminate 	y							
multiply (1)by 		2						
Multiply (2) by		-5						
20	x		50	y	=	740		
-125	x	+	-50	y	=	-1475		
Add the two equations								
-105	x				=	-735.00		
/	-105							
x	=	7      						
plug value of 			x	in (1)				
10	x	+	25	y	=	370		
70		+	25	y	=	370		
			25	y	=	370		-70
			25	y	=	300		
				y	=	12      		
dimes	=	7    						
Quarters=	12
