Answer:

14 $1 coin

12 quarter coin

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

x = $1 dollar coin

y = $0.25 (1 quarter) coin

x + y = 26 - - - (1)

1x + 0.25y = 17 - - - - (2)

From (1) :

x = 26 - y

Put x = 26 - y in (2)

1(26 - y) + 0.25y = 17

26 - y + 0.25y = 17

-y + 0.25y = 17 - 26

-0.75y = - 9

Divide both sides by - 0.75

-0.75y /- 0.75 = - 9 / - 0.75

y = 12

Put y = 12 in (1)

x = 26 - 12

x = 14
