The value of the coin times the number of coins all added up equals the total value of the piggy bank
so
0.05n + 0.10d = 5.60

then they have given us "number of nickels is 8 less than 3 times the dimes"
this translates to
n = 3d - 8

we plug this into our first equation and we get
0.05(3d - 8) + 0.10d = 5.60

now we solve for d
first we can distribute the 0.05
0.15d - 0.40 + 0.10d = 5.60

then we can add the 0.15d and 0.10d together
and get
0.25d - 0.40 = 5.60

then we can add 0.40 to both sides
0.25d = 6.00

then divide both sides by 0.25
d = 6.00 / 0.25 = 24
so we have 24 dimes


then to find nickels, we plug in 24 for d into
n = 3d - 8
and get
n = 3(24) - 8
n = 72 - 8
n = 64

therefore we have
64 nickels
and
24 dimes

What are the first 5 terms of 4n+4,8n+3and 18-3n?Please?
dimulka [17.4K]
Assuming the first 5 terms are:

n = 0
n = 1
n = 2
n = 3
n = 4

a)  4n + 4
4(0) + 4 = 4
4(1) + 4 = 8
4(2) + 4 = 12
4(3) + 4 = 16
4(4) + 4 = 20

b)  8n + 3
8(0) + 3 = 3
8(1) + 3 = 11
8(2) + 3 = 19
8(3) + 3 = 27
8(4) + 3 = 35

c)  18 - 3n
18 - 3(0) = 18
18 - 3(1) = 15
18 - 3(2) = 12
18 - 3(3) = 9
18 - 3(4) = 6
