Answer 4

let's let d = # of dimes and q = # of quarters

since there are 42 coins ---> d + q = 42

the monetary value of (d) dimes is 0.10d, similarly for quarters it's 0.25q

since the total value is $3.00 ---> 0.10d + 0.25q = 3

making this your system:
d + q = 42
0.10d + 0.25q = 3

solve via substitution or elimination
