To solve, use a simple one-step equation

Known: Number of coins; Number of Nickles.

Unknown: Number of Dimes.

a) To find the number of Dimes

b) Use x (or virtually any letter) to represent the unknown number of dimes

c) 9+x=13

d) Subtract 9 from both sides to cancel out the 9 and isolate the variable on one side. x=4

e) 9+4=13, so yes, the answer is correct

22 dimes and 9 nickels
