We could say that dimes = x and quarters = 60 -x
Then we use the value of the coins
10(x) + 25(60-x) = 945
I did 945 because I am doing this in cents not dollars but the answer would still work because it is asking for the amount of coins.
10x + 1500 - 25x = 945
-15x = -555
x = 37
Dimes = x = 37
Quarters = 60 - x = 60 -37 = 23
It would be four 40×.1= four
If all three were the same, then each one would be (279/3) or 93. The integers would be 93, 93, and 93.
Great ! Just take 1 away from the first one, and stick it onto the last one. Now you have 92, 93, 94, and the sum is still the same 279.
The like terms are all the ones with the same variable/ letter
