X= number of dimes
x+6= number of quarters
5(x+6)= number of nickels
$5.40= 540 cents
Add the number of each coin and set it equal to the total in cents.
x + (x + 6) + 5(x + 6)= $5.40
multiply 5 by parentheses; change dollar total to cents
x + (x + 6) + (5 * x) + (5 * 6)= 540
x + (x + 6) + 5x + 30= 540
combine like terms
7x + 36= 540
subtract 36 from both sides
7x= 504
divide both sides by 7
x= 72 dimes
x + 6= 78 quarters
5(x + 6)= 390 nickels
CHECK
72 + 78 + 390= 540
540= 540
ANSWER: There are 72 dimes, 78 quarters and 390 nickels.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of d are different on the two sides of the equation (3d vs 6d), so the equation has one solution.
__
Dividing by 3 gives ...
d +11 = 2(d +33)
d + 11 = 2d + 66
Adding -d-66 to both sides gives ...
-55 = d . . . . . . the one solution
No, you would only need to multiply 16 by 5 once
