Question

Ali has q quarters. Tom has four more quarters than Ali.

Answer 1

Answer: x(.25)+(4+x(.25))=y

Step-by-step explanation:

1. set up the equation-

Ali has an unknown amount of quarters so make that x.

We know quarters are 25 cents so .25 if he has one quarter you put that one quarter into x, 2 into x and so on

Tom has 4 more, since he has 4 more it is 4+x and one again times .25

2. that is it
