Lizzy has 30 coins that have a total of $4.80. All of her coins are dimes (d), and quarters (q). Which system of equations models this situation?

a. d + q = 4.80   and   .10d + .25q = 30

b. d + q = 30      and   .10d + .25q = 4.80

c. d + q = 30      and   .25d + .10q = 4.80

d. d + q = 4.80   and   .25d + .10q = 30

What is...

B:    d + q = 30      and   .10d + .25q = 4.80

Your friend solves the system. Is your friend correct? Explain

4x + 4y = 12

2x - 4y = 24

The solution is (-6,-9)
