Answer:

x=2 and y=6

Explanation:

thee isn't any other way im sorry but there isn't here is a list:

1 nickel = $0.05 and 5 dimes =$0.50 = $0.55

2 nickels = $0.10 and 6 dimes = $0.60 = $0.70

3 nickels = $0.15 and 7 dimes = $0.75 = $0.85

4 nickels = $0.20 and 8 dimes = $0.80 = $1.00

5 nickels equal $0.25 and 9 dimes equals $0.90 = $1.15

so as you can see the more you add the higher the number gets and if its any lower it won't be enough sorry if you really needed that last part
