So, you have to have your equation in terms of dimes. What you said about what he has: four more nickels than dimes in his pocket. Will help with our equation.
We know what a nickel and dime is worth. A nickel is .05 and a dime is .1
We don't know how many dimes are in his pocket, since we're trying to solve it.
.1x+(4+x).05=1.25;
In the parenthesis, it shows how there are four more nickels. Let's solve it now.
.1x + (4+x).05=1.25
.1x + .2+ .05x = 1.25; Let's add like terms.
.15x + .2 = 1.25; Subtract .2 from both sides.
.15x= 1.05
1.05÷.15= 7 =x
There are 7 dimes in his pocket, let's check our answer.
We now know there are 11 nickels, since there are four more nickels than dimes.
11(.05) +.1(7) = 1.25
.55+ .7 = 1.25
Now that we've tried it, we know there are 7 dimes in his pocket.

Hey there!
When multiplying variables with the same degree, be sure to add the two degrees being multiplied.
For example;
x * x; both of these terms have the degree of "1" as they are "x^1". Since we are multiplying them, we need to add their degrees.
x^1 * x^1 = x^2
Now that we've broken down what we are doing, let's apply this new knowledge to your problem.
(x^3)(x^-2); Remember to just add the degrees; -2 + 3 = 1
This means our product is x^1, or just x.
I hope this helps!
Problem 1. Three students and one adult went to the baseball game on a Saturday, how much was their total bill?
problem 2. Five students and five adults went to the baseball game on a Monday, how much was their total bill?
problem 3: One student and two adults went to the baseball game on a Friday, how much was their total bill?
answer: their total bill was $55
explanation: two adults ($20 + $20 = $40) + one student ($40 + $15 = $55) the discount does not apply because they did not attend the baseball game on a Saturday
Answer:
y = ac / (a - b - c)
Step-by-step explanation:
y(a - b) = c(y + a)
Distribute
ay - by = cy + ac
Subtract cy from both sides
ay - by - cy = ac
Factor out y
y(a - b - c) = ac
Divide both sides by (a - b - c)
y = ac / (a - b - c)
Answer:
Second option is the correct answer
