Question 602031
let n=nickels , d=dimes , q=quarters


"Kate has $13.65 in nickels, dimes, and quarters" ___ 5n + 10d + 25q = 1365


"number of dimes is three more than the number of nickels" ___ d = n + 3 ___ d - 3 = n


"number of quarters is four times the number of dimes" ___ q = 4d


substituting ___ 5(d - 3) + 10d + 25(4d) = 1365


5d - 15 + 10d + 100d = 1365 ___ 115d = 1380
