Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c

Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:

25q + 5n = 150

Rearranging to make n the subject:

n = 30 - 5q

Next, we use the second statement:

n = 2q - 5

Substituting this into the first equation:

2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5

Putting this value for q into the first equation:

n = 30 - 5(5) = 5

Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)

Inversely proportional : it is relationship between two variables in which when one variable's value is increasing than other one is decreasing.

Situation A : The number of miles Rashid drives increases over a period of 5 hours.

→ in this situation both variable no. of miles and period of time are increasing. so it is not represent a inversely proportional relationship.

in next two situation , two variables are increasing with each other.

so we take last situation ↓

Situation : Robin has $100 to share evenly with his cousins at the fair. As the number of cousins who arrive increases, the amount that each person receives

decreases.

→ in this situation , both variable viz no. of cousins and amount they got is inversely proportional to each other. when no. of cousins are increasing than amount is decreasing. so this last one situation represent the inversely proportional relationship.

thanks ❤
