n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

3n = 2(n + 4) + 4 |use distributive property

3n = (2)(n) + (2)(4) + 4

3n = 2n + 8 + 4

3n = 2n + 12 |subtract 2n from both sides

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

Answer: 12, 14, 16.

N = nickels and q = quarters

0.05n + 0.25q = 1.90
n = 2q + 3

0.05(2q + 3) + 0.25q = 1.90
0.10q + 0.15 + 0.25q = 1.90
0.10q + 0.25q = 1.90 - 0.15
0.35q = 1.75
q = 1.75/0.35
q = 5 ......there are 5 quarters

n = 2q + 3
n = 2(5) + 3
n = 10 + 3
n = 13 <=== there are 13 nickels
