Question 917170: I am stuck on this problem and need help.
You have 53 coins consisting of dimes and pennies. The number of pennies is 7 less than twice the number of dimes.
1.) How many pennies do you have?
2.) How many dimes do you have? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x the number of dimes
53 coins
# ofdimes + # of pennies = 53
x + (2x-7) = 53
3x = 60
x = 20, the number of dimes and 33 pennies
and...checking
20 + 33 = 53 coins
