You can put this solution on YOUR website! I don't use tables, but here's how I do it:
Let = number of 5 cent coins
Let = number of 20 cent coins
--------------------------------------
(1)
(2) ( in cents )
------------------------
Multiply both sides of (1) by
and subtract (1) from (2)
(2)
(1)
--------------------------
and
(1)
(1)
(1)
--------------------
You have 13 5 cent coins
You have 17 20 cent coins
---------------------------
check:
(2)
(2)
(2)
(2)
OK
