Answer:

13 Quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D and Q stand for the numbers of Dimes and Quarters.

We are told that:  

D + Q = 31

We also find that:

D = Q + 5

Use the second expression (for D) in place of D in the first equation:

D + Q = 31

(Q+5) + Q = 31

2Q = 26

Q = 13

This means there are:

D = 13 + 5 or 18 Dimes

======================

Check

D + Q = 31 ?

18 + 13 = 31 YES

D = Q + 5 ?  

18 = 13 + 5  YES
