you would write two equations so u could find the solution of the system
OpenStudy (anonymous):
those equations would be
x+y=52
.25x+.05y=$6.00
where x=quarters y=nickels
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you understand so far?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, writing all down

then you could use subsitution to solve the system of equations
x=-y+52 so you could subsitute in for x
then you would have
.25(-y +52) + .05y= 6.00
OpenStudy (anonymous):
simplfiy to get -.25y+13+.05y=6.00
simplfiy to get -.20y=-7
simplify to get y=35
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you would then insert y into one of the equations to figure out what x equals
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+y=52
x+35=52
x=17
OR
.25x+.05y=6.00
.25x+.05(35)=6
.25x+1.75=6
.25x=4.25
x=17
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you could then subsitute both x and y back into the equation to make sure you are correct

x+y=52
17+35=52 YES
AND
0.25x+0.05y=6.00
0.25(17)+0.05(35)=6.00
4.25+1.75=6.00 YES
OpenStudy (anonymous):
your final answer would be 17 quarters and 35 nickels

Hope you understood and good luck with your studies(:

I did, thanks ! :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are you any good with mixture problems?
