Question 932150: Why is the answer to this question equal 25q + 10q + 30 + 5q + 10 = 200:
A collection of coins consists of nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are 3 more dimes than quarters and 2 more nickels than quarters. All of the coins together are worth $2.00. If q represents the number of quarters, which of the following equations represents this situation? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = nickels
y = dimes
z = quarters
---
y = z + 3
x = z + 2
5x + 10y + 25z = 200
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
y - z = 3
x - z = 2
5x + 10y + 25z = 200
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = nickels = 6
y = dimes = 7
z = quarters = 4
---
note:
---
y = z + 3
x = z + 2
5x + 10y + 25z = 200
---
5(z + 2) + 10(z + 3) + 25z = 200
5z + 10 + 10z + 30 + 25z = 200
---
substitute q for z:
---
5q + 10 + 10q + 30 + 25q = 200
---
rearrange:
---
25q + 10q + 30 + 5q + 10 = 200
