Answer :

The number of quarters and dimes with Maria are 17 and 8 respectively.

How are simultaneous linear equations solved?

Linear equations in mathematics are ones where the greatest power of the variable is one. A linear equation can only have one possible solution: a straight line. Thus, a simultaneous linear equation is a system of two linear equations in two or three variables that are solved concurrently to get a shared answer. Three methods are frequently used to solve simultaneous linear equations: substitution method, elimination method, and graphic method.

Let q be the number of quarters.

Let d be the number of dimes.

Given that the total amount is 5.05 in quarters and dimes

Therefore, 0.25 q + 0.10d = 5.05;

I once more, q = 2d + 1. — (ii) (ii)

Inferring from I and (ii), d = 4.80/0.60 = 8 and 0.25(2d + 1) + 0.10d = 5.05 and 0.60d = 4.80 respectively.

This is put into (ii), and the result is q = 2d + 1 = 2*8 + 1 = 17.

As a result, q = 17 and d = 8
