    Solve the system of equations to find how many coins of each type Hunter has.

    First, substitute the expression (n + 12) for d in the first equation to write a single equation that can be solved for n.

    So, Hunter has 56 nickels.

    Now, substitute 56 for n in the second given equation and solve for d.

    So, Hunter has 68 dimes.
