Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If all of Brent's coins were pennies, their value would be 1.63. The value is actually 4.42 -1.63 = 2.79 more than that. Replacing a penny by a dime increases the value by .09. Hence there must be 2.79/.09 = 31 replacements.
Brent has 31 dimes and 132 pennies.

<em>Solution using an equation</em>
You can write an equation that solve the problem in basically the same way. Let the variable represent the number of coins of highest value: d = dimes. Then the value (in cents) of the collection is ...
1(163-d) +10d = 442
9d +163 = 442 . . . . . . . . . . simplify (note 9 is the difference in value; 163 is the value of all pennies)
9d = 442 -163 = 279 . . . . . . subtract 163
d = 279/9 = 31 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 9
Brent has 31 dimes and 163-31 = 132 pennies.

Answer:
n = 2.5 or n = (5/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(2n+4) +6 = -9 + 4(2n+1)
first distribute the 4 to the (2n+1)
(2n+4) +6 = -9 + (8n+4)
then add 9 to both sides to cancel out the -9 on the right side
(2n+4) +15 = (8n+4)
next subtract (2n+4) from both sides to cancel out the (2n+4) on the left side combining like terms as you subtract
15 = 6n
then divide 15 by 6 to get your final answer
n = 2.5
or
n = (5/2)
