You can try trial and error.
a. 16 quarters, 13 dimes, 8 nickles = 37 coins Nope. That isn't the answer.
Keep going til you find the right answer.
Let x = number of dimes. Since the value of the coins does not matter, the quarters = x + 3, dimes = x and nickels = x-5.
(x + 3) + x + (x - 5) = 52
Solve for x.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
