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.

Answer:
0.166
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 7 , y= - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
4x = -2 - 5y ___(1)
4x= 10 - 3y ___(2)
so, now by simultaneous equations,
10 - 3y = - 2 - 5y
2y = -12
y = -6
if y = -6
then, 4x= 10 -3(-6)
4x =28
x = 7
