Answer:

22 nickles or 13 quarters

Explanation:

[tex]x=nickels\\ y=quarters[/tex]

[tex](x+y=35).05[/tex]

[tex].05x+.25y=4.35[/tex]

[tex].05x+.05y=1.75[/tex]

[tex]-(.05x+.25y=4.35)[/tex]

[tex]-.2y=-2.6[/tex]

[tex]y=13[/tex]

[tex]x+13=35[/tex]

[tex]x=22[/tex]

[tex]22\ nickels\ or\ 13\ quarters[/tex]
