Answer:
12 ≠ 14
Step-by-step explanation:
(4+8)=2+(6x2)
12 = 2 + 12
12 ≠ 14.
So the equation is false.
Let x be the number of pennies which is also equal to the number of dimes. By this representation, the number of quarters is equal 46 - 2x. The total amount is $4.87 or 487 cents. The equation that best represent the given is,
x + 10x + 25(46 - 2x) = 487
The value of x from the equation is 17. Therefore, there are 17 of both pennies and dimes and 12 quarters.
