If you are rounding it will be the same thing
Answer:
I think its A
Step-by-step explanation:
What you can do is subtract 1x from each side
Then you subtract 3 from each side
Then it tells you x=2
Always put what you think x is back into the problem and see if it works out
Example on how you do it:
(x+5)=(2x+3)
5=(x+3)
2=x
So, what is the case in which he uses the least coins? can he use 1 coin? no, there isn't a 35 cent coin. can he use 2 coins? yes! he can use 25+10 cent coins!
now, the largest number of coins means the coins of the smallest value: so using only 5 cent coins. How many would this be?
we have to divide:
35/5=7
so we would use 7 coins.
And the difference is 5: 7-2 is 5.
