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
Let x be the number of quarters that Matthew has.
Since Matthew has twice as many quarters as dimes, the number of quarters he has is 2 times the number of dimes, which is 2(20)=40.
Therefore, the equation to represent this situation is:
x = 40.
