Algebra.Com's Answer #74734 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! your expressions look OK except for the dimes ... you subtracted the nickels from the total but not the quarters\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "try Dimes-- (37-N-(N+4)).10\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the three expressions summed together equal the total value \n" ); document.write( " |
