You can put this solution on YOUR website!
N = number of nickels.
\n" ); document.write( "D = number of dimes.
\n" ); document.write( "N = D + 3 (there are 3 more nickels than dimes)
\n" ); document.write( "D + N = 25 (total of dimes and nickels is 25).
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "use D + N = 25
\n" ); document.write( "substitute D + 3 for N
\n" ); document.write( "equation becomes
\n" ); document.write( "D + D + 3 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2D + 3 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 3 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "2D = 22
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( "D = 11
\n" ); document.write( "since N = D + 3, then N = 14
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "answer is:
\n" ); document.write( "D = 11
\n" ); document.write( "N = 14
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "she has 14 nickels and 11 dimes.
\n" ); document.write( "total number of coins is 25 (14+11=25)
\n" ); document.write( "number of nickels is 3 more than dimes (14-11=3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
