Solve the problem by setting up and solving a system of three linear equations in three variables. a box contains $7.20 n nickels, dimes, and quarters. there are 42 coins in all, and the sum of the numbers of nickels and dimes is 2 less than the number of quarters. how many coins of each kind are there

If i have one apple and give you the apple, how many apples do i have?

Look at arnold's attempt to solve the equation for b: 3b = 12 b = 3 · 12 b = 36 describe the mistake that arnold made.

Nick has box brads. he uses 4 brads for the first project. nick let’s b represent the original number of brads and finds that for the second project, the number of brads he uses is 8 more than half the difference of b and 4. write an expression to represent the number of brads he uses for the second project.
