Let q represent the number of quarters that Matthew has. The equation would be:
q = 2(20)
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.(1 point)
?q=20
5 answers
wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let q represent the number of quarters that Matthew has. Since Matthew has twice as many quarters as dimes, and he has 20 dimes, the equation would be:
q = 2(20)
This reduces to:
q = 40
q = 2(20)
This reduces to:
q = 40
okay but the question is asking
? q = 20
? q = 20
Apologies for misunderstanding the question. If the question is asking for an equation where q is equal to 20, the equation would be:
q = 20
q = 20
