John's piggy bank contains quarters, dimes, and nickels. He has three more dimes than quarters and 6 fewer nickels than quarters. If he has 63 coins, how many quarters does John have?
Use reasoning to answer the following question.
22
Let x represent the number of quarters John has.

Nickels: x - 6.

Dimes: x + 3.

Total:x + x - 6 + x + 3 = 63.

3x - 3 = 63.

3x = 66.

x = 22 quarters.

.

So, the final answer is 22
