Answer 2

Answer: We can use two variables, x and y, to represent the number of dimes and nickels Adrian has, respectively.

We know that Adrian has twice as many nickels as dimes, so we can write the equation:

y = 2x

We also know that the total value of the coins is $1, and since nickels and dimes have different values, we can write the equation:

0.05y + 0.1x = 1

So the system of equations is:

y = 2x

0.05y + 0.1x = 1

These equations can be solved simultaneously to find the number of nickels and dimes that Adrian has.
