Nina has x coins. Clayton has 5 fewer coins than six times the number of coins Nina has. Write an expression for the total number of coins Nina and Clayton have altogether. Then simplify the expression.

7x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Nina = x coins

Clayton = 6x - 5 coins

Expression for the total number of coins Nina and Clayton have altogether.

Nina + Clayton

= x + (6x - 5)

= x + 6x - 5

= 7x - 5

The correct answer and expression is 7x - 5

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
