Question

Make an equation, solve it, and do self-check.

A man has $0.70 in dimes and nickels. He has 8 coins altogether. How many nickels does he have?

PLEASE MAKE AN EQUATION AND SOLVE IT

Answer 1

two nickles and six dimes

Explanation:

x= dimes

y=nickles

.10x+.05y=0.70

plug in random whole numbers that add up to eight 8 for example you can do x=5 and y=3

that gives you .5+.15=.65

keep doing that until you get x=6 and y=2
