Answer:
[tex]60x+75[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the total amount of money (in cents) of the expression:
[tex]\text{$x$ nickels, $(x+3)$ quarters, and $3x$ dimes}[/tex]
Since each nickel is worth five cents, each quarter 25 cents, and each dime ten cents, we can write that:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Total}=5(x)+25(x+3)+10(3x)[/tex]
Simplify. Distribute:
[tex]T=5x+25x+75+30x[/tex]
Combine like terms. Therefore, the total amount of money (in cents) is represented by:
[tex]T=60x+75[/tex]
