.10x+.25y=2.30 (where x is the number of dimes and y is the number of quarters)
y=x+5 (Given in question)
.10x+.25(x+5)=2.30 (substitution)
.10x+.25x+1.25=2.30 (distribution)
.10x+.25x=1.05 (subtractive property of equality)
.35x=1.05 (combine like terms)
x=3 (divide both sides by .35)
Parker has 3 dimes and 8 quarters
