What is the answer

Question

Money Chris has saved twice the number of quarters that Nora saved plus 6.The number of quarters chris saved is also five times the difference of the number of quarters and 3 that Nora has saved.solve an equation to find the number of quarters thay each have saved.

Answer 1

c = 2n + 6

c = 5(n - 3)

 

Since c equals two different things, they equal each other.

 

2n + 6 = 5n - 15

3n = 21

n = 7

 

I bet you can figure out how many quarters Chris has!
