Question 335543: You have quarters, dimes, and nickels in a jar. There twice as many quarters as nickels. Write an expression for the number of coins in the jar in terms of nickels and dimes.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let:
n = nickles
d = dimes and
c = number of coins:
3n + d = c
We can also say that the number of quarters would be 2n
(2n + n+ d), which simplifies to 3n + d as a binomial.
