Rose counted her money and found that she had $1.35 in nickels andquarters. There are nine more nickels than quarters. How many of each coin does Rose have?
+37146 q = quarters = value = 25 q
n = # nickels = q+9 value = 5(q+9) summed = 135
25 q + 5 (q+9) = 135 solve for q = # quarters then #nickels = q+9
