Respuesta :

Answer

x + y = 125 ----- equation 1

0.25x + 0.1y = 26 --- equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represents quarter and y represents dimes

According to the question, quarter and dimes made up the total coins Carl has

Carl has 125 worth of coins

quarter + dime = coin

x + y = 125 ----------- equation 1

The coins are worth a total of $26

one coin = 0.25 quarters

one coin = 0.1 dimes

0.25x + 0.1y = 26 ----- equation 2

Hence, the two equations are

x + y = 125 ----- equation 1

0.25x + 0.1y = 26 --- equation 2
