<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>There are 75 coins that aren't nickels. </h3><h3>One equation you could use is 75+n = 92</h3>

(This solves to n = 17 meaning there are 17 nickels)

=====================================================

Explanation:

"There are 25 ​pennies, 21 ​dimes, and 29 quarters", so there are 25+21+29 = 75 coins so far. This is the amount of coins that aren't nickels. The rest are nickels, which is some amount n. This adds to the 75 to get 75+n. Set this equal to 92 because there are 92 coins in all. That's how we end up with 75+n = 92.

-----

Extra info

The equation 75+n = 92 is the same as n+75 = 92. Subtract 75 from both sides to isolate n. You should get n = 17 after doing so.

Two numbers are randomly selected from integers 1 through 9. What is the probability that only one of the integers is odd given
Stells [14]

Another one where there's a danger of overthinking it !

The sum of ANY two integers is odd only if one is even and one is odd.

If they're both odd OR both even, then their sum is even.

So if their sum is odd, then one is odd and the other is even.

The probability is ' 1 ' (100%) .
