Answer: The correct option is
(A) [tex]c+(c+2)=12,[/tex] where c is the number of dimes.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Alice has a total of 12 dimes and nickels and she has 2 more nickels than dimes.
We are to select the correct equation that represents the given problem situation.
Let c represents the number of dimes. Then, the number of nickels will be (c + 2).
Since there are total 12 coins, so the required equation is given by
[tex]c+(c+2)=12.[/tex]
Thus, the required equation is
[tex]c+(c+2)=12,[/tex] where c is the number of dimes.
Option (A) is CORRECT.
The expression for the total number of dimes and nickels is c+(c+2)=12. Option A is the correct answer.
How do you express the number of dimes and nickels?
Given that Alice has a total of 12 dimes and nickels.
Also given that she has 2 more nickels than dimes.
Let us consider that c is the number of dimes. Then the number of nickels is given as,
Number of nickels = c+2
The total sum of dimes and nickels is 12, then,
Number of dimes + Number of nickels = 12
c + (c+2) = 12
Hence the expression for the total number of dimes and nickels is c+(c+2)=12. Option A is the correct answer.
