Josslyn has nickels and dimes in her pocket. The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes let d represent the number of dimes. Write the expression for the number of nickels

Sagot :

[tex]7d+3[/tex]Explanation

to solve this we need to translate into math terms, so

Step 1

a) let d represents the number of dimes

let n represents the number of nickles

so

re write the expressions

[tex]\begin{gathered} number\text{ of dimes=d} \\ seven\text{ times the number of dimes = 7d} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes in other words you have to add 7 to seven times the number of dimes to obtain the number of nickles

hence

[tex]n=7d+3[/tex]

therefore , the expression for the number of nickles is

[tex]7d+3[/tex]

I hope this helps you
