<span>Amanda has 26 nickels and dimes.
We shall call nickels x and dimes y.
We can write the following equations:
x = 3y -2 or -x +3y = 2
x + y = 26
We can cancel out the x to give 4y = 28 or y = 7
If there are 26 coins in total and 7 of them are dimes then there must be 19 nickels.
The number of nickels (19) is two fewer than three times the number of dimes ( 3(7) - 2 = 19).</span>
-6 + (-5) + 7 =
-6 - 5 + 7 =
-11 + 7 =
-4
Your final answer is -4.
Absolute Value is always positive, because it is the distance between any integer and zero. So, the absolute value of 5.23 is 5.23 (not negative)
Step 1: Assign variable for the unknown that you need to find.

Step 2: List the given details
Distance between you and your friend is 12 miles. It means the total distance traveled by you by walk and your friend using bicycle when both travel towards each other to meet in 't' hours
Equation 1:

Your Walking rate and your friends Cycling rate is given below:

Step 3: Set up an equation using the relationship between distance, time and rate.


Substituting the above in equation 1

Distance traveled by you by walking from home and distance travelled by your friend in cycle in 0.8 hours is given below:

I’m not sure if it’s right but this is what i got
252
252x2 =504
504+252
756 miles?
