Yes because if you divide 4 by 67 you get about 0.0597 and if you divide 5 by 777 then you get about 0.0064 and 0.0597 is greater than 0.0064

Answer:
(x, y) = (2/5, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute for y and solve for x.
1 = -5x +3
-2 = -5x . . . . . . subtract 3
2/5 = x . . . . . . divide by -5
The solution is (x, y) = (2/5, 1).
Let p = number of pennies.
Let n = number of nickels.
We are given that n= 2p and the total value is $8.80.
We know that a penny = $0.01 and that a nickel = $0.05.
So $0.01p + $0.05n = $8.80.
Substitute 2p for n:
$0.01p + $0.05*2p = $8.80
$0.01p + $0.10p = $8.80
$0.11p = $8.80
p = 80
So n = 2p = 2*80 = 160
Thus there are 80 pennies ($0.8) and 160 nickels ($8.00). The value of all the coins is $8.80.
