use an algebraic approach to solve each problem. Jody has a collection of 116 coins consisting of dimes, quarters, and silver dollars. The number of quarters is 5 less than three-fourths the number of dimes. The number of silver dollars is 7 more than five-eighths the number of dimes. How many coins of each kind are in her collection?
