Solve using graphing substitution or elimination in the picture

1) 18 quarters and 30 nickels2) 8 quarters and 12 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let quarters be x and nickels be y.

Equations based on given, 48 coins, total of $6 = 600c:

x + y = 4825x + 5y = 600

Substitute y in the second equation, y = 48 - x

25x + 5(48 - x) = 60025x + 240 - 5x = 60020x = 360x = 18

Then value of y is:

y = 48 - 18 = 30

2) Similarly to problem 1.

x + y = 2025x + 5y = 260

Substitution: y= 20 - x

25x + 5(20 - x) = 26025x + 100 - 5x = 26020x = 160x = 8

Then finding y:

y = 20 - 8 = 12

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

? A) The sum of x and y is a rational number.

Hope this helps
