Let x = the number of dimes
Let y =  the number of pennies.

There are 8 coins, therefore
x + y = 8        (1)

The coins are worth 17 cents, therefore
10x + y = 17     (2)

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2).
10x + y - (x + y) = 17 - 8
9x = 9
x = 1

From (1), obtain
y = 8 -x = 8 - 1 = 7

Answer: 1 dime, 7 pennies.

Two cyclist leave towns 75moles apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One cyclist travels 7 mph faster than the
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

d1 = d

d2 = 75 - d

r1 = x

r2 = x + 7

t = 3

Equation

x*t + (x + 7)*t = 75

This equation represents the total distance travelled. Neither one of the cyclists have gone 75 miles, but they both have gone distances that equal a total of 75 miles.

Solution

3x + (x + 7)*3 = 75

3x + 3x + 21 = 75

6x + 21 = 75

6x = 54

6x/6 = 54/6

x = 9

Answer

The first cyclist is going 9 miles / hr

The second cyclist is going 16 miles / hour
