Answer:

p = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

[add like terms]

p - 1 = 8 p - 8

[add 8 to both sides]

p + 7 = 8 p

[subtract p from both sides]

7 = 7 p

[divide each side by 7]

p = 1

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

13 Quarters and 18 Dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D and Q stand for the numbers of Dimes(D) and Quarters(Q). Give x and y a break, and make it easier to remember which is which.

D + Q = 31

D = Q + 5

Therefore:

D + Q = 31

(Q+5) + Q = 31

2Q + 5 = 31

2Q = 26

Q = 13

Then D = (13+5) or 18

================

Check:

D + Q = 31 ?

18 + 13 = 31 YES

----------------------

D = Q + 5 ?

18 = 13 + 5 YES
