Question

Fill in the blank to write a one variable, one-step equation for the following information: Matthew has twice as many quarters as dimes. Matthew has 20 dimes.

Answer 1

nope

Answer 2

Let x = the number of quarters Matthew has.

Since Matthew has twice as many quarters as dimes, we can write the equation:

x = 2 * 20

x = 40

The number of quarters Matthew has is 40.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let x represent the number of quarters Matthew has. Since he has twice as many quarters as dimes, and he has 20 dimes, the number of quarters he has is:

x = 2 * 20

x = 40

So, x = 40.
