Question

Tim's bank contains quarters, dimes, and nickels he has three more dimes and quarters and six fewer nickels than quarters if he has 63 coins write and solve an equation to find how many quarters Tim has.

Answer 1

Tim has 22 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation

Suppose, Tim has
`x` number of quarters.

As he has 3 more dimes than quarters and 6 fewer nickels than quarters, so the number of dimes
`= x+3` and the number of nickels
`= x-6`

Given that, the total number of coins is 63. So, the equation will be.....

`x+(x+3)+(x-6)= 63\\ \\ 3x-3= 63\\ \\ 3x= 66\\ \\ x=(66)/(3)= 22`

So, Tim has 22 quarters.
