Adam has x x dimes and y y nickels. he has no less than 18 coins worth a maximum of $1.50 combined. solve this system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

The number of nickles is 6  

The number of dims is 12 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Sum of total number of dims and nickels coins = 18

The value of total combination = $1.50

Let The total number of dims = d

Let The total number of nickels = n

1 nickles = $0.05

1 dims = $0.1

According to question

Total number of dims and nickels coins = number of dims + number of nickels

Or, d + n = 18            .........1

And

$0.1 ×d + $0.05 ×n = $1.50

Or, 0.1 d + 0.05 n = 1.50            .........2

Now, Solving eq 1 an eq 2

0.1 × (d + n) - (0.1 d + 0.05 n) = 0.1 × 18 - 1.50

Or, (0.1 d - 0.1 d) + (0.1 n - 0.05 n) = 1.8 - 1.50

Or, 0 + 0.05 n = 0.3

Or, 0.05 n = 0.3

∴  n =

i.e n = 6

So, The number of nickles = n = 6

Put the value of n int eq 1

∵ d + n = 18

Or, d = 18 - n

Or, d = 18 - 6

i.e d = 12

So, The number of dims = d = 12

Hence, The number of nickles is 6 and the number of dims is 12 . Answer

it is 570
