    Answer:

    q = $0.05

    e = $0.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    13q = 0.65 equation 1

    5q + 7e = $3.75   equation 2

    in equation 1, divide both sides of the equation by 13

    q = 0.65 / 13 = 0.05

    Substitute for the value of q in equation 2

    5(0.05) + 7e = 3.75

    0.25 + 7e = 3.75

    collect like terms

    3,75 – 0.25 = 7e

    3.5 = 7e

    e = 0.5
