Okay, here is another problem from my math homework. I figured out the answer to this in the end, but I still don't understand how to do it algebraically, which is what is being asked. Basically, please explain all of the steps in algebraic form.
A jar containing only nickels and dimes contains a total of 60 coins. The value of all the coins in the jar is $4.45. Find the number of nickels and dimes that are in the jar.
Thank you!
