just to be sure D =8+n right

anonymous · Answer

.05(n) + .10(n-8) = 2.35

I can not see  your choice of answers.

anonymous · Answer

answers could be 
0.10n + 0.05n + 8 = 2.35
       0.10n + 0.05(n + 8) = 2.35
       0.10(n – 8) + 0.05n = 2.35
       0.10(n + 8) + 0.05n = 2.35

anonymous · Answer

d = n + 8
.10(n + 8) + .05n = 2.35

anonymous · Answer

0.10(n – 8) + 0.05n = 2.35
is the answere

anonymous · Answer

are you sure @kelliegirl33

anonymous · Answer

I messed up...I read it wrong....I thought there were 8 more dimes then nickels. Since there are 8 more nickels then dimes it would be..
d = n - 8
.10d + .05n = 2.35
now sub n - 8 in for d in the 2nd equation
.10(n - 8) + .05n = 2.35
sorry about that...coxr15 is correct
