Answer:

B) 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Each number in the equation needs to be a whole number, since you can't have 2.5 marbles or something like that.

2/5 of 16 is 6.4

2/5 of 20 is 8

2/5 of 21 is 8.4

2/5 of 26 is 10.4

Even though 20 is the only one that works, if you wanted to be sure it's right, just divide by three after subtracting 8 (the three remaining marbles.)

20-8=12

12÷3=4

The three remaining numbers would be equal and the amount of yellow numbers is a whole number. 20 is correct

Marcos had 15 coins in nickels and quarters. He had 3 more quarters than nickels. He wrote a system of equations to represent th
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There are 6 coins in nickels and 9 coins in quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, to find the solution.

According to question:

The number of nickels = x.

The number of quarters = y.

So, the total number of coins:

x+y=15.

He had 3 more quarters than nickels.

Thus,

y=x+3 .....(1)

Now, to get the solution:

x+y=15

Substituting the equation (1):

x+(x+3)=15

x+x+3=15

2x+3=15

<em>Subtracting both sides by 3 we get:</em>

<em />2x=12<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

x=6.

<em>The number of nickels = 6.</em>

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (1):

y=x+3\\\\y=6+3\\\\y=9.

<em>The number of quarters = 9.</em>

Thus, there are 6 coins in nickels and 9 coins in quarters.
