Question 1139876
How about you write it like this:
----
Chi has $6.35 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is 5 more than 4 times the number of quarters. How many dimes and quarters does Chi have?
----


x quarters
and
4x+5 dimes


and from that you can write an equation, {{{0.25x+0.1(4x+5)=6.35}}}.
