7d+3Step-by-step 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


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

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


n=7d+3

therefore , the expression for the number of nickles is


7d+3

I hope this helps you
