Tim's bank contains dimes, quarters, and nickels. He has 3 more dimes then quarters and 6 fewer nickels then quarters. He has a total of 63 coins.
How many quarters does he have?
-----
Equations:
d = q+3
n = q-6
d + n + q = 63
---
Substitute for "d" and for "n"; solve for "q".
-------
q+3 + q-6 + q = 63
----
3q -3 = 63
3q = 66
q = 22 (# of quarters)
----
d = q+3 = 25 (# of quarters)
----
n = q-6 = 16 (# of nickels)
