What is an equation?

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of nickels and y represent the number of quarters. There are 2 cups in 1 pint. Hence:

If she has 6 nickels and 12 quarters:

Number of coins = 12 + 6  = 18

If she has x nickels and y quarters:

Number of coins = x + y  

If Myesha has 6 nickels and 12 quarters, this means that she has 18 coins.
