A vending machine contains dimes and quarters only. There are 4 more dimes than quarters. If x represents the number of quarters, write an algebraic expression in terms of x that represents the value of all the coins in the vending machine in cents. Simplify the expression.
-----------------
d = x + 4
-----
# of coins = # of dimes + # of quarters::
# of coins = x+4 + x = 2x + 4
Value of coins = value of dimes + value of quarters
Value of coins = 10(x+4) + 25(x) = 10x+40+25x = (35x + 40) cents
