If Myesha found 6 nickels and 12 quarters under her cushion, this means that she has a total of 18 coins.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
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.

We are given: Degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit are related by formula

To find : Solve formula for F in terms of C.
Solution: We have , 
First we need to get rid 9 from right denominator.
In order to get rid 9 from right denominator, we need to multiply equation both sides by 9.

9C = 5 (F-32).
Distributing 5 on right side over (F-32), we get 5*F - 5*32 = 5F - 160.
9C = 5F - 160.
Adding 160 on both sides,
9C+160 = 5F - 160+160.
9C+160 =5F
Dividing both sides by 5, we get
(9C+160)/5 =5F/5.

Splitting fraction 1/5, we get
