Question

Josslyn has nickels and dimes in her pocket. The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes let d represent the number of dimes. Write the expression for the number of nickels

Answer 1

$7d+3$Explanation

to solve this we need to translate into math terms, so

Step 1

a) let d represents the number of dimes

let n represents the number of nickles

so

re write the expressions

$\begin{gathered} number\text{ of dimes=d} \\ seven\text{ times the number of dimes = 7d} \\ \end{gathered}$

The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes in other words you have to add 7 to seven times the number of dimes to obtain the number of nickles

hence

$n=7d+3$

therefore , the expression for the number of nickles is

$7d+3$

I hope this helps you
