Answer:

Julian has 16 dimes and 6 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose Julian has q quarters and d dimes

The total coins are 22, that is

q+d=22

q=22-d   [1]

The total amount of money he has is 310 cents which are made of 10d dimes and 25q quarters

10d+25q=310

Simplifying by 5

2d+5q=62

Using the relation [1]

2d+5(22-d)=62

2d+110-5d=62

3d=48 => d=16

q=22-16 = 6

So Julian has 16 dimes and 6 quarters
