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:
t = (p - 1/2)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
p = 4t + 1/2 - t
combine like terms:
p = 3t + 1/2
subtract 1/2 from each side of the equation:
3t = p - 1/2
divide both sides by 3:
t = (p - 1/2)/3
