In a coin collection, the number of dimes is 6 more than twice the number of nickels. If the collection has 36 dimes, how many nickels are in the collection?
Since it said the number of dimes is 6 more than twice the number of nickels There are 36 dimes, this statement in an equation is d=(2n + 6), so then it would be [2(36) + 6] which is 72 + 6 = 78
