Step-by-step explanation:

She has $3.60 in nickels and dimesa nickel is $0.05 and a dime is $0.10let n be the number of nickels and d be the number of dimesthus the first equation is 3.6 = 0.05n +0.1dIf she has 46 coins then n + d = 46then n = 46 - dsub n = 46 - d into 3.6 = 0.05n +0.1d3.6 = 0.05(46 - d) + 0.1d3.6 = 2.3 -0.05d+0.1d1.3 = 0.05d26 = dsub d = 26 into n+d=46n+26=46n=20Check by subbing n=20 and d=26 into 0.05n +0.1d0.05(20) +0.1(26)1+2.6 = 3.6
