Answer 20

whoa i was just saying i just learned it

Answer 21

(10+n)+(10-n) = 20 ; this is true for any value of n

(10+n) + 10(10-n) = 83 ; find n

Answer 22

Oh... sorry..

Answer 23

10+3 does not equal 20 coins

Answer 24

its ok i should have rephrased that

Answer 25

I know , I mean 8 dimes and 3 pennies because 8 dimes is 80 cent + 3 pennies = 83 cent :D

Answer 26

there are many combinations that work for one but not the other .... guessing could take all day

(10+n) + 10(10-n) = 83 ; find n

Answer 27

Hmmm... 10 ?

Answer 28

good luck ...

Answer 30

p+d = 20
1p + 10d = 83
subtract 1st equation from second:
p-p + 10d-d = 83-20
9d = 63
d = 7
p = 20-d = 13
