Question

Gisele has $5.90 in quarters and nickels. If Gisele has 16 more nickels than quarters, how many quarters does she have? [I don't want the answer I just want to know how to set the problem up please]

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Quarters= 25(x)

Nickels =5(x+16)

25x+5(x+16)=590 (no decimal)

If you solve for x, you’ll get the number of quarters.
