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
