Express the given information as an algebraic equation and simplify: Max has $3.25 in change. He has 5 more dimes than quarters but twice as many nicckles as dimes.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of quarters
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+5 = number of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+5) = number of nickles
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".25x + .10(x+5) + .05(2(x+5)) = 3.25
\n" ); document.write( ".25x + .10(x+5) + .05(2x+10) = 3.25
\n" ); document.write( ".25x + .10x+.50 + .10x+5 = 3.25
\n" ); document.write( ".45x + .50 + 5 = 3.25
\n" ); document.write( ".45x + .55 = 3.25
\n" ); document.write( ".45x = 2.70
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 (number of quarters)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "number of dimes:
\n" ); document.write( "x+5 = 6+5 = 11
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "number of nickles:
