Question 965641: pat found a bag that had 29 coins consisting of dimes and quarters worth 4.70. how many quarters were in the bag?

q = number of quarters
d = number of dimes
d + q = 29
10d + 25q = 470
25d + 25q = 725
-10d - 25q = -470
------------------
15d = 255 ---> d = 17
---> 17 dimes, 12 quarters
