Well, you already have the decay model, so just plug that in
3·m - 2/3 - 2·m + 1/4 = 2/12
m - 2/3 + 1/4 = 2/12
m = 2/12 - 3/12 + 8/12
m = 7/12
Connor has 14 quarters and 28 dimes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Worth of coins = $6.30 = 6.30*100 = 630 cents
We know that,
1 quarter = 25 cents
1 dime = 10 cents
Let,
Quarter = x
Dime = y
According to given statement;
25x+10y=630 Eqn 1
The number of dimes is 14 more than the number of quarters
y = x+14 Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 35

Putting x=14 in Eqn 2

Connor has 14 quarters and 28 dimes.
