Devang has a collection of dimes and nickels that total $1.10. He has a total of 15 coins. Which matrix can be used to represent this system of linear equations to determine the number of dimes and nickels devang has ?

AX  = b or  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, total number of coins  = 15

Let us assume the number of dimes  = x

Also, let us assume the number of nickels  = y

So, x + y = 15  .... (1)

Again, 1 dime  = $0.1

So, x dimes  = x ($0.1)   = $ (0.1 x)

1 nickel  = $0.05

So, y nickels  = y ($0.05)   = $ (0.05 y)

Also, total value of coins  =  $1.10

⇒  0.1 x + 0.05 y  = 1.10     .... (2)

So, from (1) and (2) the matrix can be written as:

AX  = b or  

The above matrix can be used to determine the number of dimes  x and  nickels y.
