Peter has $12 in nickels and quarters. Altogether, he has 72 coins. Use the variables n and q to write and solve a system of equations to determine how many of each coin she has.

Step-by-step explanation:

n= nickels

q= quarters

Create a system of equations

n + q =72 number of coins

0.05n + 0.25q = 12 amount in money

solve by elimination ( anything would be fine)

n + q = 72

4( 0.05n + 0.25q = 12)

n+ q = 72

-

0.2n + q = 48

0.8n = 24

n= 30

now use substitution to find how many quarters she has

30 + q = 72

q = 42

He has 30 nickels and 42 quarters

Sorry for skipping some steps

I hope this helps!!!

srry idk

step-by-step explanation:

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
