dmezzullo · Answer

do u have a real-world situation?

swissgirl · Answer

So now for the second part you gotta get creative. You have to think of a similar world problem. hmmmm well we can work with coins

swissgirl · Answer

Ok lets say you have in your wallet a lot of coins
you have dimes and quarters. How much money do you have in total?
Dimes are 10 cents so d=.10
Quarters are 25 cents so q=.25
So our equation would be .10d+.25q=Total amount of money

swissgirl · Answer

Oh we forgot to say that d= the amount of dimes and q= the amount of quarters in yyour wallet
