Casey has n nickels. Megan has 4 times as many nickels as Casey has. Write an expression for the total munber of nickels Casey and Megan have. Then simplify the expression.

Verified Answer :

C = n
M = 4 x n or 4n
C + M = n + 4n = 5n

Answer:

Total number of nickels Casey and Megan have: \(n+4n\)

Simplified: \(5n\)


Step-by-step explanation:

  • Casey has  \(n\)  nickels

Megan has 4 times of Casey. So we multiply 4 with the number of nickels Casey have, \(n\)

  • Megan has  \(4n\)  nickels

Total nickels of Casey and Megan = n + 4n

Simplified = n + 4n = 5n
