Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

Let d = number of dimes. Let q = number of quarters.

d + q = 35

A dime is worth 10 cents, or $0.1; d dimes are worth 0.1d.

A quarter is worth 25 cents, or $0.25; q quarters are worth 0.25q.

0.1d + 0.25q = 4.9

The system of equation is

d + q = 35

0.1d + 0.25q = 4.9
