I NEED ANSWER ASAP! Chiara has 26 coins that equal 34 cents. All the coins are pennies,

Chiara has 2 penny coins and 24 nickel coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p > the number of penny coins

n ---> the number of nickel coins

Remember that

Chiara has 26 coins that equal 34 cents

so

isolate the variable x

> equation A

34 cents=$0.34

Multiply by 100 both sides

isolate the variable x

> equation B

Create a table  to guess

assume  different values of n and determine the value of p in equation A and equation B

The solution is when the value of p in the equation A must be equal to the value of p in equation B

1) For n=1

equation A

equation B

2) For n=2

equation A

equation B

therefore

The solution is (2,24)
