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

Answer:

Total number of nickels Casey and Megan have: [tex]n+4n[/tex]

Simplified: [tex]5n[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:

  • Casey has  [tex]n[/tex]  nickels

Megan has 4 times of Casey. So we multiply 4 with the number of nickels Casey have, [tex]n[/tex]

  • Megan has  [tex]4n[/tex]  nickels

Total nickels of Casey and Megan = n + 4n

Simplified = n + 4n = 5n
