Yes, these are two equations that represent the given information. The first equation states that the total number of coins (quarters and dimes) is 171. The second equation states that the total value of all coins (25 cents per quarter and 10 cents per dime) is $32.85. From here, you can use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations for the number of quarters and the number of dimes.
