You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = pennies
y = nickels
z = dimes
---
1x + 5y + 10z = 556
x = 2z + 1
x = y
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
1x + 5y + 10z = 556
x - 2z = 1
x - y = 0
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
