A nickel is equal to 5 cents or 0.05 dollars.
A quarter is equal to 25 cents or 0.25 dollars.
Let number of nickels be = n
Let number of quarters be = q
...........(1)
As it is given, there are 3 more nickels than quarters so equation becomes,
................(2)
Plug in the value of 'n' from (2) in (1)
= 
As we get, 
Hence, there are 12 nickels and 9 quarters.
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of novels
y = number of dictionaries
x = 8y
88x + 208y = 13680
now, using the identity of the first equation in the second equation gives us
88(8y) + 208y = 13680
704y + 208y = 13680
912y = 13680
y = 13680/912 = 15
x = 8y = 8×15 = 120
so, there were 120 novels and 15 dictionaries sold.
Consider inequality 
This inequality is equivalent to inequality 
This means that 
The greatest integer number n, such that 
when dividing by 7 gives the remainder 4 is 39. Then subtract 7, you get 32, then 25 and so on.
When n=-39, -32, -25, -18, -11, -4, 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39 then dividing by 7 the remainder is 4.
Answer: 12 integers.
