Gail has nickels and ten dollar bills in her pocket. The number of nickels is seven more than nine times the number of ten dollar bills. Let t represent the number of ten dollar bills. Write an expression for the number of nickels

n=7+9t

Step-by-step explanation:

Use variable expressions to represent the number of each type of coin.

Multiply the number times the value to get the total value of each type of coin. In this problem you cannot count each type of coin—that is what you are looking for—but you have a clue. There are nine more nickels than dimes. The number of nickels is nine more than the number of dimes.

Let d = number of dimes.

d + 9 = number of nickels

Fill in the “number” column to help get .
