A collection of coins has a value of 64 cents. There are two more nickels than dimes and three times as many pennies as dimes. How many of each kind of coins are there?

2 answers

number of dimes ---- x
number of nickels ----x+2
pennies --------- 3x

10x + 5(x+2) + 1(3x) = 64

solve for x, then sub into my definitions.
