There are twice as many dimes as nickles and 8 fewer nickles than quarters. How much money is in the bank? \n" ); document.write( "

x y and z for how many nickels dimes and quarters\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A bank contains 44 coins\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By%2Bz=44\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"twice as many dimes as nickles\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=2x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8 fewer nickles than quarters. \"
\n" ); document.write( "\"z-x=8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have enough to write the total coin equation as one single variable.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B2x%2B%28x%2B8%29=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x=44-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=11-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=9\"-------------------With this variable (for the nickels) you can now find the dime and quarter counts, and find how much money.
