Question 503259
pennies	x	numbers						
nickels	y	numbers						
								
1	x	+	1	y	=	1585	.............1	
1	x	+	5	y	=	39.17	.............2	
Eliminate y								
multiply (1)by 		-5						
Multiply (2) by		1						
-5	x		-5	y	=	-7925		
1	x		5	y	=	3917		
Add the two equations								
-4	x				=	-4008		
/	-4							
x	=	1002.00		OR	1002      			
plug value of 			x	in (1)				
1	x	+	1	y	=	1585		
1002		+	1	y	=	1585		
			1	y	=	1585		-1002
			1	y	=	583		
				y	=	583
