Formulate the situation as a system of two linear equations in two variables. be sure to state clearly the meaning of your x- and y-variables. solve the system by the elimination method. be sure to state your final answer in terms of the original question. a jar contains 50 nickels and dimes worth $4.20. how many of each kind of coin are in the jar? x = nickels y = dimes
