quarters than dimes. How many of each type of coin do you have?


Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 25y = 370

y = x + 5

10x+25(x+5)=370

10x+25x+125=370

35x=370-125

x=245/35

x=7 which is the number of dimes

x+7= 7+5= 12 which is the number of quarters

So you have 12 quarters. That means you have 7 dimes.
