Alice has a total of 12 dimes and nickels. She has 2 more nickels than dimes. Which equation represents the given problem situation?
c+(c + 2) = 12, where c is the number of dimes
c+2c= 12, where c is the number of dimes
C+(c+ 2) = 12, where c is the number of nickels
c+2c =12, where c is the number of nickels​

c + (C+2) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume C is the no of dimes

So there are C+2 no of nickels

Guven that C + (C+ 2) = 12

you're missing vital information, add to it so we can solve this problem for you.

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
