If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:

z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)

Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:

1.2 + z  = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Plug in the values you know:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Solve for x:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8

This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:

She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.

If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.

Sauron [17]

Apply the radical rule to separate terms:

Cubicroot(-27) and cubic root(n^27)

Cubicroot(-27) = -3

Now you have -3 cubicroot(n^27)

Using the exponent rule

N^27 can be rewritten as (n^9)^3

Now you have -3 cubicroot((n^9)^3)

The cubic root and the 3rd power cancel out to get the final answer of

-3n^9
