    Correct answer: Nickels x = 11 and pennies y = 9

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We will first define the variables in the system:

    Let be nickels x and pennies y

    We will form a system to solve this problem:

    5 x + 1 y = 64

    x + y = 20 / · (-1)

    we will first multiply the second equation by - 1 and add it by the first and get:

    4 x = 44 ⇒ x = 44 / 4 = 11 nickels

    x = 11 nickels

    from the other we get y

    y = 20 - x = 20 - 11 = 9 pennies

    y = 9 pennies

    God is with you!
