Expressions can be represented as equations, and vice versa.
A possible situation is as follows:
<em>John is 15 years old, and his age is 3 more than 5 times his brother's age</em>
The equation is given as:
This means that:
- 15 represents John's age
- P represents his brother's age
- 5 and 3 are the constants that relate their ages

Answer:
2 nickels, 9 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
When there are a number of overlapping shaded areas on the graph, I find it convenient to use the reverse of the inequalities. That makes the <em>unshaded</em> area the solution space. Here, the vertices of the triangular solution space are ...
(2, 9), (2, 13), (6, 9)
Any of the grid points within (or on) this triangle is a possible solution. One of them is (2, 9) corresponding to 2 nickels and 9 dimes.

Three solutions are shown:
(x, y) = (2, 9), (3, 10), (4, 11)
