Question 1162292
<br>
The value of (x+18) nickels in cents is 5(x+18).<br>
The value of (x) quarters in cents is 25(x).<br>
To solve for x and thus determine the number of coins he has (and the number he has of each), write and solve the equation that says the total value in cents of the coins -- 5(x+18) plus 25(x) -- is 540.<br>
