José has fifty coins all of them either 2 soles or 5 soles coins. If he has 154
soles altogether, form two equations and solve them.
José has fifty coins all of them either 2 soles or 5 soles coins. If he has 154
soles altogether, form two equations and solve them.
Let x be the number of 2 soles coins and y the number of 5 soles coins.
2 x + 5 y = 154 …1.
→ 2 x + 5 y = 154 Subtract

The number of 2 soles coins and 5
soles coins must add up to 50
A ship can travel 20 knots with the current and 14 knots against it. Form two
equations and find the speed of the current and the speed of the ship in still
water.
