Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of nickel be x

Let the amount of pennies be y

Let the amount of quarters be z

If the the total value of the coins is 3.88, then;

x+y+z = 3.88 .... 1

If Anita has 4 more nickels than pennies, then;

x = y + 4 ... 2

If she has 2 more than 4 times the number of quarters than pennies, then;

y = 2 + 4z

4z = y-2

z = (y-2)/4 ...3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1

y+4+y+(y-2)/4 = 3.88

4y+16+4y + y-2 = 15.52

9y + 14 = 15.52

9y = 15.52 - 14

9y = 1.52

y = 1.52/9

y = 0.17

Since x = y + 4

x = 0.17+4

x  = 4.17

z = y-2/4

z = 0.17-2/4

z = -1.83/4

z = - 0.46

Molly uses 192 beads to make a bracelet and a necklace. It takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace than t does to make a
neonofarm [45]
Solve for the bracelet first. x represents number of beads for bracelet So it would be number of beads for the bracelet + number of beads for necklace (5x) and they both equal 192 x + 5x = 192 Then you would add the x and 5x.<br />6x = 192 Now all you have to do is divide by 6 on both sides. 6× ÷ 6 = 192 ÷ 6 You know have the number of beads it takes for a bracelet. x = 32 to get the necklace all you need to do is multiply it by 5 because you need 5 times more for the necklace. 32 × 5 total beads needed is 160. 160 x+5x=192 6×=192 6x÷6=192÷6 x=32 necklace needs 32x5 beads per necklace is 160
