Algebra.Com's Answer #368153 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! solving the equations algebraically ___ p + d = 15 and p + 10d = 80\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtracting the equations ___ p + 10d - (p + d) = 80 - 15 ___ 9d = 65 ___ d = 7 2/9 \n" ); document.write( "___ this would make p equal to ___ 15 - 7 2/9 or 7 7/9\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since these \"fractional\" coins do not exist ; there seems to be an inconsistency in the problem\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
