case 1:
let the number of nickels be n
let the number of dimes be d
5n + 10d = 605
n + 2d = 121
case 2
number of nickels ---> n - 10
number of dimes ---> 2d
5(n-10) + 10(2d) = 985
5n - 50 + 20d = 985
5n + 20d = 1035
n + 4d = 207
subtract them
2d = 86
d = 43 then n = 35
He has 43 dimes and 35 nickels
